Sunday

I spent the late afternoon and the evening with my mom yesterday.
She has been sick for a week with some virus I guess.My two older sisters and my dad have been tending to her the past several days. They said she was fine, and I guess she is. But she looked a lot worse than I was expecting. When I got to her house I could hear her in her bed moaning.
Her temp. is up, her blood pressure is down, and she's a tiny bit confused, she's pale and she's weak...........walking from her bed to the bathroom made her pant for breath. I gave her something for her fever, and made her take her heart pill that she hadn't been taking.(she decides what she's going to take, and when. She can be a very stubborn patient.)
And I'm 100% sure she's dehydrated. So I made her eat some jello, and drink some water.
She was worried about her Christmas presents getting wrapped. So she sat in the living room with me while I wrapped her Christmas gifts...........actually I ran to the store and bought a bunch of great big gift bags. So everything has been bagged, and put under her tree. I hope I have the right gifts going to the right people.
The last hour that I was there mom was very talkative and up and about a little. She said she felt like she was over the "hump".........and she was looking a little better. SO I hope she truely is feeling better and on the upswing.
Today mom needs me to run a couple errands. So I'm going to pay my bills, run errands for mom, and then I plan on baking some Christmas treats with my daughter.
