I feel like I am one thing after another..My bil is in intensive care..He had knee replacement today and his blood pressure dropped to dangerous levels..he is a diabetic, and that might have some bearing on his blood pressure, I don't know

I am waiting for a Dr to examine mom..We now have one who comes to the home, mom is too fragile to move....From what I have read, I fear she is in stage 7 or near to it..I know there is nothing to be done, but I still would like a Dr in the picture...I want her to be able to be back with hospice as soon as they will agree to take her on, because I know she will get looked after on a regular basis, by people who are trained in making the last walk, a bit better for the ill person..The hospice Dr took over her medical needs when they put her on their pallitive care, when she got better, they withdrew from the case till needed again

Mom is now in diapers, and has a lot of trouble walking, and more trouble getting up and down, from a seated position....She seems not to want us to leave, and before she was always ok about it....I think as soon as we are out of sight, she probably forgets we were even there..I tried to get her to eat just a couple of bites of food, but she refuses, and worse doesn't seem to want to drink at all either

She is still not in a wheelchair ,or bedridden, as of yet..I pray she escapes ,before it comes to that.....I don't think she weighs more than 80 lbs if that.....

My best to all, don't know when I will find time to return
