Moms House 2/20/09

Hi all,

Well this has been a very productive couple weeks.Mom's doing pretty good on the pacemaker.She's having a little trouble with her meds.The pacemaker has an internal chip with memory.When the tec. downloaded the memory it showed a couple of irregular heart beats.Her heart was doing the rapid beats again.Not as fast as before,and not stopping like it did before.Just some speeding up,so the Dr. gave her some new medication.

March 6th

Boy have I been gone awhile.I came home on Feb.28Mom and dad are doing very well.Mom was a little scared to be alone until the tec told her that the pace maker was working great.Then she told me to go home.My only problem with leaving was moms arm.It had been hurting her for 10 days or so.I tryed to get her to call the Dr.I didn't want to go until she was checked.If she couldn't drive she'd need me to stay.She finally called the Dr.on Wed. and saw the Dr. on Thur.The Dr.said it was a pinched nerve in her shoulder,but she would be able to drive and do all normal stuff.So I left on Fri.

My dad is doing great.His therapy is going soo well.He's trying sooo hard.His therapists are working even harder then he is.They really care and do everything they can to help him take care of himself.When I left they were teaching him how to get out of bed and how to get into his wheel chair.

When he's ready to come home I'll go back down and help them get into some sort of routine.

When I got home every thing was good.Some cats were happy to see me and others wouldn't come to me for three days.

Marion is so good at taking care of things around here.She keeps my house running so well I think she wants to take over all the time.

On Sat. Derek called to tell me I'm going to be a GREAT NANA.He and Sassy are expecting some time in Oct.I've got very mixed emotions.I think the kids are too young to be bring a baby into the world but I also feel that I have to think back to when I got married.I to was 18yrs.Derek will be 19yrs. in May ans Sassy will be 18yrs.in Aug.

I wish for them, that they had waited a little until they're married, but then many ,many of us didn't wait and we got the best that life has to give.We got the love our spouse and a baby to go along with it.

We as parents and grand parents need to give them the best support and love and understanding we can.

Some of us didn't have that support and had to go it alone.That has to be toughest thing in the world.I don't know if I could have done it.

I think I've given enough talk for now.

Take care

Jan
