March 2010 Doings

Hey guys. Hope everyone is having a great March. Papaw, we hope that you had a great birthday! 29 again!

Just an update on my mom. She has been back in the hospital two more times. In fact, she is there right now. She actually got to come home for one night in-between the two stays. BUT, they (the ubiquitous *they*) would not let her go home with bi-pap machine. She has been on O2 for so long that she is retaining CO2 and the machine helps her to exhale and get rid of it. We have been told this time that she will not be discharged until Medicare approves the machine. She is also having trouble with an infection, started out as a UTI but she also has the same bug in her left parotid gland (salivary gland in the jaw) and now her left arm is swelling and red. They did an ultrasound on it yesterday but we don’t have the results yet. Sorry I don’t have better news. Although, her vital signs are good, blood pressure, O2, etc.

We had a couple of really beautiful days here in Tennessee. Trees are starting to bud and the grass is starting to grow. I love spring. Only because I really hate winter. I live for the cold weather to go AWAY!!!

Emma has her Standard Achievement Tests this week. Pray for her as she undergoes these tests.

Have a great rest of the month! Remember, in like a lion, out like a lamb!
