Have any medical knowledge? PLEASE help if you can. (Page 3)

Heh. My sweet mad polymath and Verga ...

Not at all. Anybody would do this for someone they loved. The things you said might be true if I were willing to do it for one of the physicians who did this to my mom.

And if I were truly the only person left on Earth who could do it, I would. Because I genuinely would not wish this on my worst enemy. Has nothing to do with being a saint; I couldn't live with myself if I willingly allowed someone and their family to suffer like this, regardless of who they are or what they'd done, if I were in any position to do anything about it.

I will pray for these physicians and their families (AND ESPECIALLY THEIR PATIENTS!!!). Again ... nothing to do with goodness; I'm just not willing to suffer emotionally for their mistakes anymore. I need peace and grace and I can't do that with these daggers sitting in my heart.

Besides ... those guys are going to need some happiness in this life because I have a feeling there won't be too much where they're going after.

And that, my Mentor Manatee, is why you can stay emotionally and spiritually strong and sane in the face of the madness that surrounds you at this time.  "Prayer does not change things for us, it changes us for things". 

Operation Spring Mommy is complete!

We took her home today and she is a million percent better ... and so are we.

It's still going to be a long road to recovery--typhoid with pneumonia is no joke and she is, after all, 78.

We're still caring for her round the clock but it's just so much easier on our own turf. We can medicate her on a schedule so that she doesn't GET in pain or agitated, and have all our own equipment to monitor her instead of waiting six hours between nurse visits.

Fever spike tonight has been lower than ever and stabilized quickly. That's because we're not waiting hours for a doc to approve FRAKIN' TYLENOL and a nurse to show up with it. We just keep her on it. (Also, I'm sure the antibiotics are kicking in but even with treatment people can have significant fever spikes for a week or more).

Anyways, my mom felt well enough to complain about the temperature of her tea (no, you cannot have scalding hot tea right now the way you like it, sorry), and the consistency of her cornflakes that she asked for (I'm sorry, they have to be soggy because you're not the best chewer and swallower right now). These are excellent signs.

I gave her a blue Ironman Melbourne cap at the hospital as a "spring from jail" gift. She loves it and I'm sure one day soon she will be taking her brisk walks again and happily wearing it.

Awesome news Yanti!!!!

And your mom looks way cool in the IM hat!
