Mom Says, "Thank You!"

Thank you for all your well wishes everybody!!! I did pass on your sweet get well messages to her and you should have seen her beam to know that people far away from Hawaii were wishing she would get better. That really perked her spirits up.

Tif and Jon both called to ask how their grandma was and how long I was planning to wait before I called the doctor. Since there was no fever, no respiratory problems, no pain... I thought the doctor's office would say I should just let her rest and make sure she took a lot of fluids. I've heard that message a lot of times.

However, when Tiffany suggested I place a call anyway, I did. I was surprised when the Advice Nurse at Kaiser said to bring her to the Emergency room right away. That surprised me. I explained again that she did not have severe symptoms. The nurse said she didn't like the fact that mom was not eating much and that she was not getting better since her tiredness began on Thursday. I didn't want to bring her into the emergency room where there could be all manner of swine flu or a perhaps a long wait. The nurse agreed and scheduled an appointment for mom to see her regular doctor tomorrow.

I'll feel better once he checks her out and can tell me if there is anything we should be concerned about.

Thanks again, everybody. Good night.
