Today was an old day...

This is for the far-n-er sprinkles... I think all the locals heard by phone.
Sorry to say that Mom had another fainting/dropping-to-the floor episode today on the 1st floor @ BG around 1 pm. BG didn't dial 911 this time because Mom came around relatively fast and asked them to call me instead. Very sweet of her but it scared the crap out of me. BG said Mom seemed confused, a bit fidgety and was also complaining of chest discomfort. However, they seemed to feel that a family member would be able to calm her and take her GBMC rather than going by ambo.
I did the smart thing... called Saint Quinn (yes, it's your turn again for nomination). She headed there and is still there doing a superlative job, foremost because she prevented another trip to the ER. Quinn assessed Mom's medical state, got her calmed and up to bed for a nap. She'll be consulting with Dr. Lavin about this latest episode. By now, she's probably got Mom up for dinner and will pass along an update later.
I wasn't fortunate to catch Paul awake when I called him right after Quinn. If lucky, I was hoping he could hustle to BG and hold Mom's hand while Quinn was en route. He's up now and will check in on Mom tomorrow.
Peace out clan! Love, Dan

Today was a new day...

She was dressed appropriately, her hair looked nice (thanks again Megan!) and she was in good spirits. The conversation was flowing quite nicely with most words coming to her easilly. It wasn't until I she stood to kiss me good-bye when she had a woozy moment. I told her that when she feels that way, she should gently sit down and wait for it to pass and if she needs help - ask for it. The only little issue was ht she doesn't remember going to the hospital yesterday. Oops, sorry Danny - your good deed has been lost in her memory. She was able to tell me what caused her to faint yesterday though. It seems that she had just picked up the paper and saw that one of those "chocolates" was to be named our next president. ;-} (sorry, I couldn't pass up on the joke)

Love to all - Levelle

Mom's back at GBMC

Same episode, different day. Danny is there with her now and will be pushing to have her released as soon as possible.

Will keep you updated - Levelle

'Nuff said


There's Hope for a Better Future


We had to put this sign up when someone stole our standard street sign. And by 'someone' I hope I don't mean Danny, because I know he was tempted :)

Mom wants to vote

Does anyone have plans to take mom to vote? She's an Obama supporter, so I'm not sure if Danny or Paul should be trusted with the job. ;)
