Mom's septic.

Thought this was a truly Bad Singular Event, until I talked to Sis - and there's been one sepsis event already, and Mom was much sicker with it.

Oh.

I'll go out to see her tomorrow. But I can take a deep breath, go do some shopping and keep on with the routines.

Bah. Getting old sucks.

:( I'm so sorry. I hope she pulls through this one. How frustrating that she's been sick like this before and you didn't know. *hugs*

Oh, I knew about it. I knew about the fever and the uck - and brain didn't put the pieces together.

This is what ultimately ended my late husband's life, so I'm a bit sensitive to the word. But - so far, so good and she's among friends (this is the hospital she retired from, after 35+ of service).

I can't ask for much more.

Oh, dear. :( *hugs* I can see that. I think it's rather nice that she's not really away from home so much, being in hospital. It seems a good reward for helping others all that time.

Keep your hopes up. We'll keep you in our thoughts.

Mom was almost 40 when I was born, and she's survived ten years longer than her mother, and almost thirty years longer than both her brothers and her father.

I'm pretty young for this kind of stuff, but they said that about being widowed at 37, too. Jim still has his grandfather on Mom's side of the family, at 42. It's...um...relative. *chuckles*

Thanks - I think of you often, too. Every time I see a pretty piece of quilting fabric.

I had my grandmother (mother's mother) until I was almost 43. She was 96 when she passed away last year.

(HUGS) that your mom gets well soon.

Lots of hugs from all three of us.

We need some more hugging time in the same place! Soon, promise?

[snobahr.livejournal.com]

Just give us a free day on a weekend, and we can be there!

I hope she gets better soon.

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

She should. I never heard how Ninny did - everything okay there?

She's better. She's not fully recovered, it was a bad crash, but she's yelling at us again and demanding attention and food. We're trying a few different things to get her bowels moving again and she has a heated cat bed (not just a bed right next to a heater)for her arthritis.
Here's the longer version.

Thanks for asking.
