I'm glad to hear you and Mom got to see her, Barry. It sounds like she's doing ok but these things are never pleasant. I will still keep her and all of you in my thoughts and prayers. {{{{{MARLENE}}}}}
Mom said Marlene had some food,had Cream of Chicken soup,had some Butterscotch pudding or might have been Jello.I am kind of busy running mom up and bringing her back,only a couple of minutes there and looking after Fritz and Taffy.She had been out walking again and was sitting in a chair,looking really good.
I hope Marlene recovers quickly! :love:
Sounds like she's making good progress. Prayers continuing......:)
More thoughts and prayers coming to Marlene and the family, Barry. I hope Larry is coping well. Your Mom too. I know she is a strong woman and seems to never be sick, thank God. You are doing a great job with everything, Barry. :)
When someone is in the hospital, it's hard to keep up with every day life. I hope Marlene comes home soon.
Marlene is doing well,got staples removed from where they operated,had tube form nose removed yesterday,was eating solid food today,diabetes is a little high,hope it will go down.Reverend Lafave had been in to see her,had gone to the wrong room a few days before where there were old men.Mom told her that I did the yard work up at the house,by next week won't look like I done it.Hope maybe in a couple of days or so she will be coming home,no housework for a while.
Bless Marlene. I am so hoping for a fast recovery for her. She will more than likely be taking it easy for awhile. I hope she does. Please give her my best, Barry. I know she appreciates you helping very much.
When my yard man comes, he rakes leaves and takes them away. In one day, it's back to the same thing. Leaves everywhere. It looks so nice once he does it though. I love to see the leaves come down because it's a sign that the air is cooling off.:) Nice weather her for several days now.
Marlene is coming tomorrow afternoon,looking forward to it,I know Taffy will be glad to see her so Fritz can get back in a regular routine.Marlene had Chinese food,Mom liked the smell of it.
