Today I went to physical therapy...it was a good session. My neck was so sore last night from sitting so much in the ER and then in the room they gave Mom that I wasn't sure I'd even be able to sleep. I didn't get home until after midnight and then had to be at therapy at 8:30. I was still so sleepy.

After therapy I stopped by Burger King and got a bit of breakfast. I hadn't been there in a long time so decided I would this morning. I then headed to Lafayette to stay with Mom. She looks so fragile, that at times I can't seem to stop looking at her. So different than that strong bull-headed woman I grew up with.

The C-diff has come back, plus she has a bad urinary tract infection. I guess these are common when on dialysis and they are no longer urinating. The EEG that was done last Thursday showed no signs of seizures. I guess that's a good thing, but now no one is sure why her BP is dropping so fast. This morning they did a standing check and it dropped to 72 over 46. Even when they raise the head of the bed...they have to do it slow, because it makes her lightheaded and ready to pass out.

I sat with her until after 2 and then needed to get home, get some laundry done, run the sweeper and rest. It feels good to not have things waiting on me to get done. Also paid Mom's bills that were due.

Now I'm just lying here in bed with the latop. I'll probably fall asleep here in a bit because I can feel the ole eyelids getting heavy. Hope you all have a great weekend.
