Sending positive thoughts your way from the both of us.

Update - Mom has been in rehab all week and doing really well. Her tentative release date was Oct 2. But....

She's had spinal fluid leaking. So she's currently back in ICU and they're putting a shunt in to drain it. We've only been able to talk to the nurses so we don't really know what this means. If it's a normal thing or something not good. Anyway they're putting it in tonight and they said she'd probably be there a couple of days.

My sister is headed there now, thank goodness for the hotel inside the hospital, and should be able to get more info in the morning.

If she's there longer than the weekend I'll be heading up on Sunday night or Monday. For some reason this one has just had setback after setback. Hopefully this isn't a huge one.

Ack. I hope it is not something too serious.

Sending more good thoughts for your mom, katiesue.

Hopefully just a hiccup. All my continued hopes and prayers.

Sending good/healing thoughts your mom's way.

Update - they've got the shunt in and it is draining. She has to lay flat on her back except to eat. This is going to set her rehab back. She's also got herpes lesions (kinda like shingles) so she's now in isolation. No idea how long but at least 2-4 days so I'm headed up either Sunday night or Monday AM.

Thanks for the update, KS... lesions like that (had shingles a few years back) hurt like all heck, and I can't imagine that on top of everything else she's been going through.

I'll be keeping her in my thoughts today.

I am so sorry about the setback, KS. Travel safely. It is easy to let your mind wander during times like this, so please be careful.

BE -- shingles, ouch.

Thanks for the update, I'm keeping all of you in prayer Katiesue! Are you doing to do the 5 to the 80 then up? Drive safe!
