Mom & Dad had a smooth trip back home last weekend. Thank you for lifting them up in prayer.
After arriving home, though, Mom seemed to have some trouble finding the leg-strength to get up from a seated position. She had this problem a few times while up here in Kentucky but we always seemed to do it together. On Sunday afternoon my sister, Andrea, was able to work with Dad in getting her up but Sunday evening, she slid down to the floor of their bedroom and Dad had to call 911 to get some help with her. Three fireman came and helped her back into the bed. Needless to say we were more than a little concerned with this drastic drop in her strength.
Andrea & Dad took Mom to her appointment with Dr. Waltuck Monday afternoon. After reviewing all of the events of the past month and taking into consideration the rough weekend she had, he decided to keep her medication as it is for another two weeks. At that point, he wants to do another MRI & see her again. He believes that the fall, the surgery, the bleeding ulcer, her having been away from home, etc, could be part of her problem. He wants to see how she does once all the other stuff is out of her system and now that she is home.
Unless something changes, I will post again with her MRI results and the doctor's thoughts in two weeks.
God Bless.
p.s. I have to share a side story from today. Today Lyla told me her back was hurting and said she needed me to put a patch on it. She knew her Mimi wore a patch because her back hurt. She doesn't miss anything.
