Well that was a crazy month

I had every intention of posting photos and dialog about my Memorial Day weekend trip to Chicago and then...real life just didn't give me time. I will get to the Chicago weekend, what a GREAT city. But first, a brief catch up on life.  My Mom has been really got sick again.  I am glad to say, she is doing much better now, but about 30 days ago, well...I wasn't so sure she was going to be around much longer. The truth of the matter, she's getting up there and her heart is struggling to keep up. She has Afib and Kidney disease. Treatment of both of these issues is a very delicate balancing act. When she gets run down, she just can't get her strength back, and gets exhausted.  And well, she's about as stubborn as they come!  I think this last time scared her.  I also think she will continue to do what ever she wants to do, against the advice of her children.  We have made some life adjustments, to decrease her required things to do. Hopefully she will be able to do the things she wants to do.  As of now, she is still in a nursing home for rehab. That time is coming to an end soon. I am hoping we don't end up in this same situation again.
