Day 105 ~ Oops! Missed a day...

From Julie: Sorry about missing yesterday. Mom's white blood cell count was up to 11 yesterday, so we really thought she was going to go home, but then her red blood cell count went down, so they decided it would be best to keep her one more day. Well, that one day turned into another because today her creatinine levels are now high, which means she probably needs dialysis. I'm assuming this would be a one-time thing & not chronic, although it could happen since she has diabetes (one of the causes of chronic kidney disease). Let's pray for the best!

So, that being said... I have no idea when Mom is coming home, but if it were up to her, she'd be home right now. She is going nuts just lying in that bed all day. Thank God that Dad, Jenny & Kay have been keeping her company as much as possilbe!

Speaking of Kay, here's another funny story Dad told me the other night... So Mom & Kay were talking on the phone & for whatever reason Mom had to put the phone down for a minute. Kay waited patiently & when mom finally picked up the phone again & started talking, Mom couldn't figure out why Kay wasn't responding. Mom was calling Kay's name & getting frustrated when she realized that what she was talking into was not the phone but the...
......wait for it...
......wait for it...
TV remote! :) LOL ..Ahhhh... ya gotta love it!!! :)

Back with more updates on the saga of Janet Hopper tomorrow! Take care!
