Well, that was an interesting morning.
We hustled to get Mama's stuff packed and my sister and niece ready to catch a plane. They HAD to leave today - no options.
We got to the hospital by 6:30am. No doctor. By 8:00 every one was antzy and fussy. Still no doctor. Finally......the head nurse comes to let us know Mama's levels are not right. Way Too Low. They will not release her.
Now the decision....AMA or stay? She opted to stay.
I rushed Dawn and H to the airport, pushed them out of the car and headed home. I need a shower and a bit of a rest. Then I'll head up to spend NYE with Mom. I'll take some cards and such and we'll just fiddle around.
I've already made arrangements for someone to pick her up at the airport when they do allow her to fly. But, we can't set anything up until she is released. But, if you know me, you know I've got a couple of plans in place.
I'm planning a "year in review" for New Years. I know, you can hardly wait, can ya?! :-)
But in the mean time, know I wish each and every one of you and those you love a very Happy New Year. May 2005 shower you with blessings and smiles. Love and Laughter.
I have a sign in my foyer. Live Well, Love Much, Laugh Often.
I think that says it all!
Be Safe tonite. Happy New Year!
