Update – Monday, March 17, 2008

We apologize for the delay in updates. Dad and I were out of commission last week. We both had a stomach virus and had to stay away from mom. Luckily she did not catch anything from us.

Cousins Tom and Sue kindly spent several hours with mom one day filling the void while dad and I were recuperating. Mom had a visit from her dear friends Peter and Hinda from Boston who helped fill her afternoon on Friday as they brightened her day. As Peter and Hinda left, mom’s brother Cliff, Ruth and niece Andrea visited filling out mom’s day Friday. Most evenings after work, my brothers were with mom. Over the weekend, my brothers and sister, as usual, were there for mom and dad. Sunday also brought visits from my aunt Rhoda and Uncle Shep. Dad has been sleeping in mom’s room as often as she will let him as she doesn’t like him sleeping on a cot.

Mom’s week was up and down but overall ended good with much improved blood counts. She started showing signs of cabin fever as she’s been bed-ridden for 6 straight weeks now. Physical therapy started using a knee brace to try getting her to stand. Good news is she was told she will be transferred to the Baker rehab unit which is in the hospital. Today is St. Pattys Day and hopefully the good cheer and fun enjoyed by many on this day will spill over and mom will have a good day and a great week.
