My Mom

This is my Mom on Christmas eve when we helped her come home from the hospital. She had had hip surgery. To me, she was looking better than she had for over a year.

For over a month she was doing well. In fact, she WAS turning on a dime. But for about a week now she has been back in the hospital. She has been retaining fluids which can lead to other complications too. At the moment she is responding positively, but slowly, to her medications. It is doubtful if Mom will be able to return to her apartment. My sister Mary (see the Christmas post) is with her a lot.

I am thankful for Mary. Although she lives in Edmonton, about an hour's drive away, she has spent much time with Mom since Dad went to be with his Lord several years ago (1993). She phones at least once a week, and she visits Mom, often staying overnight too. Right now she is staying at Mom's apartment and spending most of her days with Mom in the hospital.

This weekend, my twin brother Ted and his wife are coming from Montana to see Mom. Colleen and I will probably go down next weekend.

Please pray for Mom, and all of our family, as we deal with these changes.

Comments:
I will be praying for you and your family. Most particularily for your mom.
May God be especially close to you right now, and give you Peace.
 
Thanks Joanne.
 
Our heartfelt prayers will be with all of you as you travel to see your mom.Traveling mercies strength for your mom to be able to regain her strengh and to stop retaining water.We love you very much.
 
Just to let you know; We prayed for your family in church this morning.
 
Oh, Ed, I'm so sorry to hear this news. I hope and pray she will recover from this relapse very soon. Our prayers will be with all of you.
 
UPDATE: Mom wanted to go to church last Sunday so Ted took her. The family also went out to Dinner after church. Mom was pretty tired by the time she got back to the Hospital. But was able to visit with Ted and Jeannie and Suzanne, Brian and Thomas after her afternoon snooze.

The weather, and road,look much better for us to travel down to see her this weekend. Lord, willing we will leave here late Friday afternoon.
