Mom is sick. She has a cold. She has had it since March 15. Debra and Mary had a birthday party for her at Ryan’s at West Gate on Saturday March 14 and we did not get back till late. The night air must not have been good for her. She woke up Sunday morning with a cold. I tried to get her to go to the doctor, but she would not. She had a check-up appointment Wednesday April 6 and Dr. Readon gave her some medication for the cold. She is now paying a price for not going sooner.

Her check-up went well. She does not have to go back to the Doctor until October. She still has to have the finger poke every month.

She does not understand why she does not need to go back till October. When I moved in with her, she was getting her finger poke every three weeks and going to the doctor every three months. She just can not understand that she is doing better.

Here is a heads up. I know that it is way early, but if you knew Debra and Mary you will understand. I will give you as much time as I can, but with these girls I don’t know how much that will be. For this birthday party I knew just one day in advance. Mom turns 85 on March 13, 2017 and I would like for as many as possible to come.
