She's Back In The Hospital Again.

[Janet]

The nuclear test they did showed abnormalities. They wanted to do a heart cath but Mom said no. Drs said it really wasn't safe considering her being on dialysis. She would rather try to manage it with meds.

I did bring her home yesterday, but she's weak.

I guess you'll be running over there all the time? I hope she regains her strength and starts feeling good soon!

I hope your Mom improves Janet! Is she with you or at her house? I'm so sorry she is so weak! Hopefully she will feel okay through the holiday. My thoughts and prayers are certainly with you and your family.

I brought Mom home and she was happy to be there and sleep in her own bed. She is weak though. Yesterday (Sat.) I spent the afternoon with her at her house. She keeps all her meds in a cabinet by the kitchen sink so I decided it was time to go through it. Good thing.....there were medicines OTC and prescription dating back to 1985. I brought a big bag of all the stuff we through out home to be destroyed. To tell you the truth...I was afraid to leave any of it because Mom just hates throwing anything out and I was afraid she would go through it and keep something.

She had two shelves in this cabinet full of meds. Now she doesn't even have enough to fill one shelf. We have her medicines all organized now. I also cleaned out 3 other cabinets for her and there was something on her kitchen ceiling that had splattered up there so I cleaned it off. Changed the sheets on her bed and stayed while she took a shower.

It was work, but I had a good time...Mom was being good...lol...and I enjoyed being with her.

Today..she wants me to take her to Wal Mart if she's strong enough (she can ride one of the scooters), but she would like to get a few groceries and some gift cards. Mom wasn't able to gift shop and well....neither was I. Hopefully she'll be fine and we can get her there and back without an incident of any kind.

I do need to bake a cake or buy one for Monday....my little boy is going to be 20 years old on Monday the 20th....I can't believe it. Someone's getting old and it sure isn't me....rofl!!!!

Thank you all for your prayers. I appreciate you all so much and really don't know what I'd do without you all.

I"m glad to hear that things are going better. Did you get her to Walmart? Gary is having to ride in the little carts now at Walmart, etc. too. His asthma kicked up with all the construction and moving so he is not able to walk very far without being completely out of breath. I hope your mom was able to do some shopping. Doing normal activities will help her feel better!

I'm glad to hear that your Mom is better and back home. I'm glad to hear that she's well enough to go to Walmart and ride the scooters. Hopefully you'll both find some time to do some shopping.

Ricky's going to be 20!!!! Wow!!! That's so hard to believe!!! They do grow so fast!!!!

[Janet]

We did make it to Wal Mart and she spent more than she has in a long time for groceries. She does really well on those scooters...only knocked over one display this time.....lol. It was a good day for her to get gift cards for everyone too. I felt bad for her because she usually buys gifts, but this year there just wasn't enough time and being in the hospital didn't help. I don't have anything bought for her yet or for Rick. I ordered Ricky a couple things, but that it for him too. Just doesn't seem like Christmas this year and I'm so not in the mood. Be glad when it's over.
