Nana aka Mother aka Jo Anne is in the process of leaving us today. She has been sleeping comfortably since about 7:00 a.m. It's just a matter of time now. 

She had a good day yesterday before this last crisis came on about 11:00 last night. She said she felt pretty good for an old girl. 

She and I were talking about that recent, wonderful event, Lauren & Bob's wedding. She talked about how proud she is of everyone in the family and we agreed we were quite lucky to have so many smart, good looking, well mannered, and loving people related to us. She told me the only bad part about getting old is that she would not get to see all the wonderful things her family will continue to do. 

Thanks all for calls, emails, and pictures. She enjoyed every one. Wilma and Leslye are here, too. And the staff of this hospital are enormously kind. 

Love to all,
Lou

Nana update 12/10

She is doing a little better today but naps a lot and drifts in and out. Has no energy. They are going to move her out of icu soon. She will get a feeding tube for a while. Her condition is gradually improving. The fluid on her lungs has gone down considerably which seemed to surprise the doctor. Definite signs of improvement but far from where she was in sept. The doc sees no objective reason that she can't get better subject to nutrition and exercise. Small but noticeable improvement on all fronts!

First some good news ... Nana says she feels better today. Still doesn't feel good, but less lousy. Russ has restarted the blog we had after Mother's Whipple procedure, which is where I'm posting this message as well as sending to all of you. Please share the blog address with family and close friends as you think appropriate. 

I will have more to say later today after I see the doctor and we have the results of this mornings labs. It's cold here in ET and heater at the farm house is on the fritz. I need to drive out there this afternoon to see if I can fix it.

I have installed skype on my iPad. Now to see if I can figure out how to use it!

Love to all, 
Lou

A little good news

Sodium 124
Creatin 1.13
Glucose up to 432 (2of her meds are in 5% dextrose solution) so has been getting insulin injections
Potassium 3.4
BNP 35000
White cell count 11

No new orders
No new albumin or test or X-ray today

She reported feeling better for the first time today. Though she still didn't eat much, she had an appetite at both brkfst and lunch and said they tasted good (also for the first time). I finally found a protein drink she likes the taste of --- blackberry acai low in sugar. She even cracked wise about something Mimi Purnell said on Facebook. And she sat in chair for about an hour for the first time in a few days.  And she said when Rick gets here maybe we will all get something a sweet to eat. 

All good signs! I feel a little hopeful (for the first time since we got here). Doc has not yet been by today. If he has anything to add I will post again. I hope he will be able to meet briefly with me and Rick tomorrow. 

Russ checked in by phone from Saudi and folks who have seen on Facebook that she is in hospital have been sending good wishes, which I have passed on to her.
