A Valentine's Gift of A Different Kind

Mom's last dose of antibiotic will be this Saturday!!! Happy Valentine's Day Mom!!! Mom is so excited and hopeful that her sense of taste will improve once she is off the antibiotic. She told Dad to hold off on their anniversary dinner 'til she gets her taste back. (their 35th anniversary was on Emma's bday, the ninth).

Mom had a repeat MRI this week to check her spine for any remaining infection. We do not have the results yet, but we are certainly in good spirits about it. If the MRI is ok, Dr. Thomas, one of our favorite doctors, will remove the groshong catheter.

Overall Mom is doing well. A couple of weeks ago, mom's blood pressure dropped severely when she stood to walk and she fell and broke her foot and toe so she now sports a cast on her right foot and leg. That incident put her in the hospital for about 3 days. Her doctors felt like the blood pressure problem was related to a combination of meds.

Mom looks good and for the most part she feels good. She does have some nausea because of the strong antibiotic so that coupled with the lack of taste keeps her from having any kind of appetite. That will improve with time just as the other ailments. Mom is getting better and that's the important thing.

So on Saturday, we will celebrate Mom's last dose!!!! Yippee!!!!
