Hello Dahling!

Sorry...again. I've been out of the loop because my mom ended up in the hospital...again! Now we know that she had e-coli and now it's caused a huge problem.  She now has an arterial perforation in which no  (or very little) blood was flowing to her organs and caused 1/2 of her spleen to die.  A human can live without a spleen.  The doctors now have her on blood thinners since the perforation is in the interior of the artery and not on the top or bottom of the artery which would then require a more simple procedure. With the blood thinners for up to 3 months, they hope to give the artery a chance to heal itself otherwise it's a huge operation where it is similar to open heart surgery.

On top of getting the call from my mom at work saying "I need 911!" I got woken up at 3 in the morning from my son telling me "I think my wisdom tooth is coming in, but daddy gave my Tylenol." OK? So why couldn't we wait to have this conversation in the morning if he already helped you out?  Took him to the dentist where they informed me that my 15 year old has 3 wisdom teeth that need to be removed. But of course!

Mom's still in the hospital, son is going to an oral surgeon and me? Well, I'm less then 48 hours away from...
and, I'm going to the Prom! HA!!!!

It's Been a Minute...

I know I haven't posted in a while but I've been a little busy with work & my mom situation.  Thank goodness she's back home but needs to go to the hospital every day for 14 continuous days to have IV infused antibiotics because the bacteria in her blood & intestines is immune to oral antibiotics. When she gets sick, she GETS SICK - no joke!

We are now only 9 days away from...
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!!!!

Here We Go Again...

Mom came out of the hospital Saturday.

Mom went back in the hospital Tuesday.


This sh*t ain't even funny :( 

They brought in a homeless guy after we were already in the ER for over an hour. My sister, my mom & I were talking amongst ourselves but since in the ER all you have is curtains for walls, he deemed it necessary to shout to us SPEAK ENGLISH. My sister got so pissed off she started saying things back. I'm like don't engage with crazy people - I mean he didn't even know enough to get up & go to a bathroom when he had to take a crap.

He didn't say anything to us after that.

Sorry...

Haven't posted in a few days because I have a...


She's been hospitalized since Saturday night & they have no idea what's wrong with her.  The other day when I had to take my father-in-law to the hospital I had an epiphany that this was going to be my life since our parents are all getting old.  Little did I know it was going to be this soon & this close together.
