Update on Mother

I will be flying to VA on Tuesday to help sisters care for Mother.  She seems to be holding her own.  Supposed to be released from hospital tomorrow and transported to Elaine's, where I will be going.  Hard not knowing how long I will be staying, but plan to see it through.  Will take some hand piecing and some cross stitch projects to keep my hands busy.  Elaine has lots of books, so will be well supplied in that area.  Looking forward to seeing everyone, even though the circumstances aren't the greatest.  Really mixed feelings on this trip.

Requesting Prayers

To family and friends: Mother went in the hospital this morning in Hampton. When she woke up this morning and was unable to sit up or dress herself so Carolyn took her in. She is currently on oxygen and an IV and they are getting ready to move her to a room in the Hospice ward, where she will be able to stay for up to 7 days while other decisions are made. Elaine and Lois are in Hampton now. Mother's kidneys are not up to par, so we do not know how long she will continue. The doctors say days or months. Please keep us in your prayers. Marsha, could you contact your mother for us? Thanks!
