Thanks for all the well wishes for Mom. I left at 5:30 this morning and arrived at hospital about 9 AM. Shed a few tears when I saw Mom laying in bed looking so vulnerable. My sister lives in same town as Mom and provides most of Mom's care, so thankful for her at the same time I feel guilty because I 'm not there. Mom lives alone in a Senior housing unit. She will need to go into a transitional housing for a week or so and she is very put out about that, it is an interruption of her life. Her blood pressure was 70 over 39 right before I left to go home. They think these spikes might be causing her dizzy spells. She was thrilled by my surprise visit and it lifted her spirits. Drive home was a little over 4 hours, a very long day but well worth the trip. Terriamn
