Back in the Hospital

Wow! What a surprise to find out tonight that Mom is back in the hospital! When I last talked with Mom, she was practically convinced she was cured and was feeling great. (Mom's never ending optimism that has blessed her thus far. PTL!) Unfortunately, with both Septicemia and Aplastic Anemia, conditions change at a moments notice. This time the trigger was 103 degree temperature. Not a good sign. So Mom is now back in the hospital where the Stanford Staff on F Ground are taking fabulous care of her. If you would like to contact Mom, you may reach her at 650-498-3080.

Dad was able to be with Mom when she was admitted but is now at the Tahama Bull Sale until Friday. In the cattle business, this is a "must attend" when it comes to buying bulls on the West Coast. Mom is glad to be back where they take such great care of her...all needs met, room service, etc....so Dad could go to the sale. As much as she loves being with Dad all the time, she knows that it is good for both of them if once in a while Dad gets to have a break from the rigorous routine of Mom's medical needs. Mom is feeling a lot better now that they have gotten her temperature regulated and has received more platelets. All seems to be right with the world as of tonight.
