Ray of Sunshine

(pic found on web)

I just wanted to thank all of you who have dropped by and left supportive comments and who have sent positive thoughts and prayers for my mother. It appears that they are working. Although the hospital still hasn't been able to find out exactly what is wrong, my mother is much more comfortable. The pain is more under control and she is sat up in bed on her own and is much brighter. She is mostly lucid (apart from just after she has taken her drug cocktail), is eating regularly, and from all accounts is starting to boss people around again so I know she is feeling better.

The doctors think that they should be able to investigate the cause of the pain by the end of the week but for now they are giving her time to stabilise as her muscles were in spasm from the pain. When I spoke to my father I could tell he was happier with how things were going too. This positive turn of events is quite a relief and I will go up and visit her again soon. Keep the positive thoughts coming!

Hi, BK.


I've been out of blogging commission and in catching up, I was sorry to read about your mother. I trust things are looking better and she will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Terrific news Bob-Kat. I hope the doctors can find out exactly what's wrong with your mum. I guess that is half the worry right, not knowing... Hope she keeps on improving.

I'm praying for your mom, for you, and for your dad. I unfortunately empathize with the role of child-of-an-ill-parent, and it's not one that I particularly relish. It saddens me to to see them at this phase of life, and I wish I could do more to change the harsh reality.

I'm so glad things are starting to turn for the better. If it helps you smile a bit, I chose your caption for this week's Caption This winner. I know I'm a little late. It's been a bit of a crazy time with work and all.

Keep smiling, my friend.

hi,
whenever possible, rub her arms and legs, its good for circulation and relaxing, plus it just allows love to flow IN.
Massage, very gentle, very effective!
