Mom

I was able to get through to my mother a few days ago. She isn't so great about answering her phone, but one of the nurses picked it up. Mom was having her blood pressure taken and was going to have a breathing treatment after.

It was nice to hear her voice but she sounded weak and I had to repeat myself a few times.

Today, my brother Bill sent out an e-mail. He got a call from the home that said Mom tried to walk out the front door. They put a monitor on  her now. They say she is more confused. I wish I lived nearer and could be more help. My sister Sue usually takes care of business but is on a much-deserved trip out to see relatives in California. Bill has power of attorney along with Sue so he can handle things. He can be in Ohio within a few hours.

I wish my Mom would last a long time, but not if her mind goes. Her heart condition is enough to deal with let alone her brain. At least she still knows who I am.
