Report on mom for family and friends everywhere

It has been quite a while since I have blogged. Mom has been very ill with complications from chemothereapy. She has been in the hospital for 12 days, 7 of them in ICU. Bill and I took her to Mt. Vernon to Good Samaritan Hospital where they found that she was having a heart attack. That night her heart had to be shocked back into it's normal rythum. She then developed a terrible case of pneumonia. All of these things are due to chemo therapy treatments for inflammatry breast cancer. She has had a hard way to go and is now very weak, but we are home and she is sitting in her own living room watching tv and sometimes on the internet. She has to use a walker, but has been leaving tracks all over the carpet in her apartment, so she is trying to build her strength back up, but as I said is very very weak. She is in good spirits and I have been working during the day and staying here at night. It is always nice to be around her she is such a trooper and a loving kind person, I just wish it wasn't because she is ill, I wish we were just going to our Red Hat meetings and our Clay Aiken concerts and out to lunch, but that will have to wait until later. Thanks to all for the prayers, cards and phone calls. The only bright spot were several visits by Shelley and baby Garret, he is growing and is so cute. and can not decide on which end to wear his pants.......hugs from grandma.
