Laughter is the Best Medicine

Dear Family & Friends,

If you are ever in need of a good laugh, call me!  Mom's CO2 levels were higher than normal last week so she practically slept from Thursday afternoon to Sunday afternoon.  I was able to read a couple of books and just chill which was nice for a change.

Being in the hospital for 10 weeks and most of that time being in ICU you learn to tackle everything a day at a time.  You also start fine tuning personality skills such as not yelling at the ultrasound tech when she tells your mother that this is what she signed up for.......trust me it took everything in me not to physically harm that person or when you have a nurse that doesn't want you in the room whenever she is doing anything to your mother.  We have our highs and lows everyday.

Our low today was apparently when Mom took the nurse and doctor to task prior to me arriving for the day.  The high was watching her apologize to the nurse and doctor for showing out this morning, and then making everyone laugh hysterically.  I will say that it takes a special nurse to be able to take care of my Mom, and for those nurses I am and will be forever grateful.

Other than Mom being silly there isn't much new news. (Now watch something hit the fan after I post this :) that would be my luck!)

Until next time peace, love, and chicken grease.

Much love,

Robyn
