It's lovely here.

It would be so appreciated if you could send some of it down here!!! I think that we're suppose to cool off on Thursday. The forecast is for 86*. That will be a welcome relief!!

I went and saw Mom this afternoon and she's still dizzy, but feeling better. Hopefully she'll be let out tomorrow evening. My step-Dad is a sweetheart and he's been hovering over her. He's there to help her with every little thing and it's so sweet to see. My Dad didn't treat my Mom very well so it's nice to see her well taken care of now.

Tink, did you see my Mom on the back of the Sea Doo with my husband? She is very young for her age (70) and takes really good care of herself. And she still works 4 days a week! She's hardly ever been in the hospital so this was a surprise. She's in post #4.

Diana, she sounds like MY mom! lol
Mine's 72 but goes dancing every chance she gets and loves to Polka. People half her age have trouble keeping up with her. She also babysits my 2 grandaughters several days a week and I will admit I cannot keep up with that 3 yr old. lol

Wow, your moms are young. If mine was still alive, she would have celebrated her 94th birthday on Aug. 2nd. She died in 2000 at the age of 85. Daddy would be 96 on Sept. 13. He passed in 1995 at 82. Spend time with them while you can and get those recipes you want and have them identify the people in those old pictures they have.

Diana, hope your mom improves very soon and gets to go home to that sweet husband of hers!!

I hope she is back home soon!

Diana, I hope all goes well with your Mom. Sending prayers out to her!

I forgot to tell everyone that my Mom got out of the hospital either last Wed or Thurs. I can't remember which. The doctor sent her home with some antibiotics, just in case she had a middle ear infection.

I saw Mom yesterday at church and she's still really dizzy. She held on to my Step-Dad the whole time. She's going back to the doctor soon. Hopefully what ever this is will go ahead and take care of itself. Some told her that heat exhaustion can last for 2-3 weeks.

BTW--I saw Zach's family and Zach over the weekend. Zach is doing so good!!! His Mom said that he still has some anxiety issues but that he's working on them. He looked so nice and filled out, not thin like he was the last time we saw him. I miss this family so much. After I told them good-bye last night I cried all the way home. They are so special to us!

I'm glad she got back home Diana.
I have had middle ear infection and it does make you really dizzy but rarely lasts more than 3-4 days.

How nice it had to have been to see Zach with some weight on him! It sounds like that poor boy has been through a really rough time.

Hope the meds help and your Mom feels much better.

I'm so glad your Mom is home and doing somewhat better. Remind her take it easy so she doesn't get dizzy and fall and break something. I know my Mom would be hard to keep down or would still want to do everything herself. She just needs to be carefully until she is fully recovered.
