Mom Update

I wrote about Mom in yesterday’s post. Last night, around 9:30, I received phone calls from both my dad and my sister telling me that Mom was going to be admitted to the hospital. Her condition during the day (at the nursing home) was ‘deteriorating,’ though no one let us know that. She was increasingly hard to rouse and when they checked her oxygen level, it was low. The doctor on staff thought she should be admitted to the hospital, so she was taken there by an ambulance. Meredith drove over there and saw her while she was still in the ER. She has pneumonia.

We don’t know much more than that at the moment.

I don’t have much else to say this morning, my friends. I’m waiting to hear more.

Send some light and love her way.

  15. Claudia, I’m praying for you and your family. Peace and calm and love to you all!!

  17. Claudia, if you need to get to Florida, Noble and I will take care of Scout. Let us know how we can help.

  18. Claudia, Prayers, and thoughts of spring are en-route for you, your sweet Mom, and family. Stay Strong,you have put lots of good karma out there,and if you can’t do it then you can lean on me.
    I sincerely mean that! -Judy A-

  20. Your mom is in my prayers. You are in my thoughts and prayers too. At times like this we start thinking back on our childhoods and can see things from an adult perspective and realize all our folks have done for us. Maybe not perfect, but we have learned that that is Ok. Parents put their lives into their children and for that we can never give enough thanks. Then we also remember the funny bits and that makes us smile while going through the difficult bits right now. So right now remember the sweet times and funny times and that will help you through. Glad your mom is in the hospital and they will take very good care of her.

  28. I just prayed, Claudia. It seems that pneumonia is a common malady in nursing homes. My late BIL was a doctor, and I can remember him telling me that years ago. I hope and pray that she is better soon and that she can breathe better.

    Thinking of all of you.

  29. I am so very sorry to hear about your mom’s health. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and praying for your mom to get better. hugs

  31. PS. When Granny was in the nursing home, I think I recall her having it and getting better after treatment, but Fred’s aunt who was in a fetal position never got it. They were in the same one. Go figure!

  34. I’m sending my thoughts and prayers, love and hugs to you and your family.

  35. Praying for her peace and comfort. And for strength as well as peace and comfort for all her loved ones. ((((Claudia))))

  36. Praying for your Mom, you, Meredith,and your Dad. I know how hard times like this can be – especially hard when you are so far away.

    Take care.

  40. You and your family are close in my heart in thought and prayer. Peace to you through all the people who care so much.

  41. Claudia, my prayers are with your Mom, Dad, you and Meredith at this time. I pray that you will feel God’s peace while you are so far away. I know a little of how difficult this can be because we have been in this situation with my dear MIL. My heart hurts for you today my friend.
    Blessings,
    Betsy

  42. Stay strong, Claudia, know that your mom will get the care and extra attention that she needs while in the hospital. If you can, arrange to visit soon. Do it for her, and for yourself, you will never regret it.

  44. All good thoughts and prayers, Claudia. Here’s hoping your mom feels much better very soon, and that you get a chance to see her and all your family soon.

  47. So sorry to hear that your mother has pneumonia. I will keep good thoughts for her, and for you, dear Claudia.

  53. Thoughts of and prayers for your family. My mother had normal pressure hydrocephalus. She couldn’t even speak toward the end. It was heartbreaking to see her like that.

  54. Such a worrying time for you all to wait through..but since she is already in best place, I do hope she recovers quickly– thoughts are with you and hugs being sent from over the pond..janzi

  55. I’m so sorry to hear about your mom, Claudia. I’m not only sending her light and love, but prayers and peace as well. Same goes for you, my friend.

  56. Claudia, I didn’t see your post yesterday because I was at my mom’s. I’m the caregiver at night this week. Mom has Alzheimer’s and we stay with her round the clock. Like your’s, my mom is an Olay lady and has the best skin to show for it. Each day after her bath, we rub on Olay moisture cream and spritz her with Opium, her fragrance. Mom still knows us, but not much else. We spend lots of hours repeating answers to her non stop questions. As you say, Mom isn’t here anymore, not our mom really. But a dear, sweet lady is here and she depends on our love and care. I’m praying for peace for your mother and ours. You are not alone in this, so many of us share the same. Hedy

  57. My dear Claudia. Having just been through this with my own Mom and with my Daddy three years ago, I know your pain. Please know that my prayers and thoughts are with you.

    Much Love,
    Susan and Bentley

  60. You are in my thoughts, sending best wishes for your mom to get better soon. I wish Don were home w/you and Scout.

  64. I’m so sorry to hear about your mommy Claudia! I checked in here very early this morning and you hadn’t posted yet, sorry to be tardy in sending love and hugs and prayers. Please know you are in my thoughts. xo

  65. Dear God of all, please send love, light, peace and comfort around and within, especially for dear Claudia’s mom and her family…

  68. You are all! Included in my prayers Claudia. May you feel the blessed presence of peace,light and love ever with you.

  71. I know this is especially hard being so far away. Praying for your mom – and for you, your dad and Meredith <3

  72. I’m so sorry to hear the latest about your mom. I’ve been on that emotional up and down journey with my parents some years back and it’s never easy. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Please check back to follow the conversation!
