so much has happened

So very much has happened since I last blogged. My mother fell broke her hip in 3 places, found out she has a very bad heart and had to wait three days before they could even fix the hip, then she almost died anyway. She was sick to her stomach didn't eat for almost 7 weeks, was only getitng an IV, had to be put in the nursing home because Medicare only pays 19 days in the hospital no matter what!! Then they ran a CT scan she had impacted bowels, finally got that cleared up and took her off an iron pill they had put her on when she 1st went into the hospital. Once they took her off that pill she started beign able to hold down food and now seems to be improving somewhat, they tell us her heart is still very very weak so she is still no where near out of danger but we feel better about her anyway. She is only sitting up in bed, they don't even try to sit her up anymore because her heart is so weak. But she is still here and that in itself is a blessing to us. She is in no pain if she were we would not want that to be. She is in the room with a 90 year old lady who also broke her hip, she is getting better and stronger every day tho. She is a precious lady who trys to take care of my 89 year old mother!! so cute together!!
I finally got my 1st whole 40 hour work week in since she fell 8 weeks ago today. I am exhausted from all the stress and trying to work and go to the nursing home every day but I am afraid if I miss a day she would die and I wouldn't have gotten her sweet kisses that day. We all are telling her every day how much we love her because you never know how much time we have remaining together. I am upset my son isn't going to see her he's onlyt been once since we moved her to the nursing home and he hasn't taken my grandson at all that bothers me! I want my mother to see him before she is gone, she keeps asking abut how they are and I don't even know.
On top of all of this we had our baby put to sleep Thrusday, we had had him almost 18 years. We are really devastated. He slept with us and went with us everywhere almost but work till he got sick in March. The vet seems to think now he probably had a brain tumor. She was wonderful with it all, she was as upset as we were and her staff even sent us a sympathy card, she brought him out to us wrapped in his blanket I had crocheted when he started getting sick, he was also in a pretty little box. Bobby buried him at the spring so he can enjoy the time together with us still.
Then Friday was my birthday, my daughter sent me flowers and then thru a party for me in Mother's room at the nursing home, we probably made some people sick cause we fed whoever came by and wanted a piece of cake, most of the residence are all precious and we have become a family in only a few weeks. All the nurses and tech and patients.
