Friday the 13th.

Mom is doing really well.   They are still not letting her eat/drink anything other than clear liquids – going on 72 hours now (!)

I had a full calendar of meetings today but went up after work, eastern time, and visited with her.   Just as I got up there the nurses came in to change the location of her IV.  After 2 attempts by the student nurse (grr) and 1 attempt by the real nurse (Grr), they gave up and said they’d need to call someone else in.  After 3 hours of waiting (GRRR) someone came in and inserted the IV and plugged her back into her saline, antibiotic meds and pain medicine pump-thingie.   She didn’t seem bothered by it, but I sure was.

I’ve extended my stay through next week.  Tonight I’m going to stay at Noreen’s house.  I caught some nice glimpses of the Olympics in the usual places on my drive to Seabeck.

  1. I am so sorry you are going thru this Sheila – the light reflecting THRU the clouds in this glorious picture, is the light of the universe kneeling with you.
