Catching Up

the photo has nothing to do with the post

I just like this little quilt...

Many of you will remember Cindy's boys

the three older boys who lost their mother suddenly

until last fall they were able to keep the house

and live there together

 

with all that was going on in my life

I can't recall if it was November or December

but their house caught fire and remains a standing shell

 

I haven't talked to any of them since

nor their aunt down the street...

hoping to see them at the house as the weather gets nicer

I've posted a little on Facebook lately

about Mom's fall, ER visit and subsequent

new injury to her knee

 

the staples in her head should come out tomorrow

the impaction and new fracture to her knee

was minimal according to her orthopedic surgeon

so there were minor changes to her therapy

 

a small set back

however

on Thursday she reached her insurance limit

on the stay and therapy for her injury...

we are now on self pay

and waiting to hear what will be covered therapy wise

 

so that means we're working to get her

approved for Medicaid

I will be buying the house from her now

selling the back lot if possible

 

more paperwork and phone calls

all taking time away from

my visiting Mom

 

we'll be spending money on long needed

home repairs...

no real updates since they built it in 1952

 

I do make Mom laugh when I promise

I'm not rearranging furniture

the way I love to...

 

it will all work out

we haven't told Mom she's staying there

she is already so depressed

wanting to come home

 

some days are good

we enjoy puzzles, talking to the other ladies

and my "torturing her"

by having her color and do memory games

Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers

I don't answer much email or post on blogs

but I enjoying reading them
