My mom passed away last night. It was quiet and peaceful: she wasn't in any pain. It was also a bit of a shock. She was in hospice, so we had been expecting it to some extent, but we weren't expecting it so soon. Jonathan has been my rock and I am grateful to him for everything. Little Human sort of gets it, but not quite. I feel bad for him, and I ( Read more... )

My mom has an art showing at The Wooden Cow Art Gallery. The opening is tomorrow evening from 5-8. If anyone can make it, that would be awesome. The Wooden Cow is on Montgomery just East of Louisiana in the Mossman Shopping center.

Little Human started daycare 2 weeks ago. He got sick (as did the rest of us)and so he didn't get to go last week at all. Then he went back on Monday of this week. When I went to pick him up, Miss Carmen (the 2 year teacher) said that he had been fussy all day, and she thought he wasn't feeling well. He hadn't slept well the night before, so I just ( Read more... )

I managed to convince mom to get an LJ. She is rubye_tuesday for anyone that may be interested...
I knew I could convince her to join the dark side, I mean LJ *ahem*

{EDIT} I am really disturbed by her bio, but apparently she wrote more and it got lost in the LJ ether...

I have to give a *HUGE* THANK YOU to ohno_jonathan_o and valuedemployee for helping me get the dishwasher today. I didn't get much of a chance to talk to valuedemployee, mostly due to trying not to get J back to work too late, and then I went to Wally World while they and my mom brought it home ( Read more... )

It wasn't all over with yesterday. She woke up this morning with a lot of swelling and pain in her right leg. We took her back to the Hospital at 8:00 am. Turns out she had 2 pseudo-anueyrisms. They got one to go, but the other was larger. Yet again, two seperate docs telling us two different things, which ended up with her in intense pain for ( Read more... )

Mom went in today. There is much confusion. They didn't put in the stents, and we can't quite tell why, due to two seperate doctors telling her two different things at two different times. She's gonna call and find out exactly what is going on tomorrow. The first doc was trying to talk to her when she was on Versed (sp?) and a wee bit stoned. The ( Read more... )

Okay. I have been avoiding this post for as long as possible, but it is time. My mom is pretty sick. She has diabetes which is a bit under control now, but last week we found out that she has some heart issues. To the point that the doctor who did the EKG walked the results over to the Cardiologist to make an appt. for her. The Cardiologist prety ( Read more... )
