Mom update

Well, this week is off to a different start. To make it short and to the point-my mom has deteriorated over the weekend, resulting in a hospital admission yesterday at noon. She has become lethargic, to the point of sleeping most of the time, and has lost the ability to use the left side of her body. Due to the difficulties of managing this at home, she was hospitalized, and will be recieving comfort care there. She does rouse when spoken to, and does speak in short conversation. Her pain is under control, which is a blessing.
So, now the time seems shorter........ I'll try to update later in the day.

Thank God for hovering kids who love her so much.
Don't forget to take care of yourself - drink lots of fluids, take respite in the sunny side! connie

I am your dad's cousin and have been following your blog the last few weeks to see how your mom is doing. I used to work with your mom at Camp Arnes, what a great lady she was to work with, we had so much fun together and so many laughs. I just can't imagine her sick in bed, she used to run circles around all of us!!
{{{hugs}}} to all of you!

My thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your family.Roland has been updating me. All of you are so blessed to have a fantastic lady for a Mother and grandma, she always has a smile on her face and her first concern was always about someone else. I remember the first time I met her I asked Roland if she was his Sister! Too funny right! Please take care! Prayers
