NaNoMomO?
Doug’s mother’s world has come to a spinning halt.
So far, the best the docs can determine (she was admitted to the hospital Sunday afternoon) is that she has a inner ear imbalance. Basically, she can’t lift her head from the pillow without feeling like she’s going to toss.
Inner ear things are so freakin’ unpredictable. She could feel better next week or…not. One thing is clear: We can’t let her stay in bed in a (so-called) assisted living facility (risk of pneumonia, blood clots, etc), and she can’t ambulate without real help.
From the looks of the situation, Adele’s moving into a nursing home. We don’t know which one or if it’s temporary or not, only that some snappy decisions must be arrived at and a bunch of heavy lifting accomplished on her behalf.
That’s all for now. NaNoEdMo starts tomorrow. I think.
So sorry Katy. I’ll be praying for you.

Posted by Amber on 10/31/06 at 12:48 PMP.S. - Please don’t worry about sending that book out right now, if you haven’t already. I’m sure your hands are full!
Posted by Amber on 10/31/06 at 12:50 PMI hope she does get better, and soon! Also hope Doug and his family are at peace about this and not taking it too hard…
Posted by Sunflower on 10/31/06 at 01:27 PMThank you all! Today (Thursday) Doug’s mom is moving into a nursing home, for the time being. She’ll be in therapy to regain strength and help with her balance issues. She’s 84, so therapy’s no picnic, but she’s a gutsy lady.
And they could find nothing remarkably wrong with her besides this inner ear problem. So that’s great!
Now, to get something written…...
