Mimi

Tomorrow will mark one week since my sweet mama fell at HearthStone and broke her hip.  She had surgery on Wednesday morning. We, (KT and I ) ,stayed all day and came home late that afternoon , grabbed our sweat suits and went straight back for the night. Katie and I spent that first night with her and we didn't shut our eyes the entire night!  We brought in 2 chairs but I don't think we even sat in them longer than a couple of hours!!! Bless Mimi's heart, ALL night they were in there checking her blood pressure b/c it dropped dangerously low.At 3 A.M. she had to have an EKG and they called her doctor (yes, we watched the sun rise !). She ended up getting blood and they pricked and prodded her all night! Poor thing.  Katie and I left around 10 the next morning;  headed home and on the way grabbed us something to eat--got home and laid on our new COMFORTABLE couches; turned off the phones and slept for about 4 hours!!!! I was ready to go back the next day--ALMOST fresh as a daisy! HAHA......Mimi rallied and is continuing to do improve. Her mind is sharp but her body is weak! So, we are praying that she can get more strength as time goes on!..........I've taken the 30 minute ride there and back everyday for a week now!!! hmmmmmmm, how many MILES does that come to? I can't count that high!!! Glad I drive a VW BEETLE or I'd be broke with buying gas!! HAHA!  I've had to change some things on my calendar around and I haven't be able to keep my Lily and Kemp for a week! I miss them!  I hope that by the next few days she will be better and I won't  have to be going all the way there daily. She will probably be going to a nursing home/rehab---maybe even tomorrow!!!! I hope that she can go back to HearthStone eventually, but it all depends on how well she heals and can do for herself! I  do so hope she can get back to HearthStone b/c I know she wants to go back there. .......Mimi has had gazillions of e-mails sent to me that I have read to her and all 4 ministers from Riverchase have visited her everyday since she has been there!!!! They are wonderful! We are blessed to go to such a caring/loving church:Riverchase United Methodist! AWESOME CHURCH!........Here's a few pix from Saturday! Don't you love Nat's shirt??? It says: GLAM-MOM! HAHAHA! Mimi loved it, too!

 

EVERYONE, THANKS FOR THE PRAYERS! They are working!
