News and more news



News, mom returned home from Michigan with a bit of congestion, weakness, but her report and bloodwork from the doctor was good. Then this week she started the real sore throat thing, with some coughing but mostly tightness and increased weakness. I called the Dr. yesterday and was monitoring her, giving her plenty of fluids etc...but this morning at 2 am when I checked on her she was awake but not able to follow directions and her fever went to 103. I called the paramedics and they took her to the hospital. She is resting comfortably tonight. I just left after making sure she was settled after dinner. She has been hydrated, has regular breathing treatments, iv antibiotics, and they think it is pneumonia.

So...I will be getting some needed sleep tonight knowing she is comfortable or more so than last night.

Other news, Charlie, Bob's brother has reported that in spite of some good rainfall in the UP that there is no water in the basement! This is good. ;-)

Call me if you need me. I know it is hard going between the hospital and home. I hope she is better soon.
