Lesley will be back soon!

The good news is that Lesley will be back in a few days. Yea!! The bad news is that her mum responded well as previously reported to the band aids that worked in the hospital. Unfortunately now that she is home the bacterial infection is gone, but the fluid from the congestive heart failure is coming back. Her family doctor and personal friend stopped by a few days ago and said there is fluid in her lungs and around the heart.

 

The doctor told Lesley to go home now, and we will deal with mum when the time comes. Looking at the situation as the nurse she was for over 30 years, Lesley is not optimistic long term. So, we will see what the future holds.

 

Unfortunately the colitis I have has decided to flare up and life around here has not been pleasant. I am just hanging on til Lesley returns. The dogs will love to see her again.

 

Anyway, thats it for now, more later my coffee cup is empty.

George, you may have to get a deeper coffee cup.  I am glad Lesley is coming home, sad that her mother is still failing but we know with our elderly loved ones what will be will be.

I spoke to mum yesterday as Lesley was making the long flight to LA. Mum was obviously unhappy that she will soon be permanently alone Sad, but as I tell Lesley all the decisions we make in life have consequences, some intended some unintended. 8 Years ago we told mum that she would someday be in this position if she did not come to live with us, something we had completely arranged at the time. She did ask Lesley a few weeks ago if she could still come, but that ship has sailed.

 

I do think she had 8 great years in NZ and made the right decision at the time, but now she must face the unpleasant facts.
