Mom/Grandma Update

Thanks to everyone for coming for Thanksgiving! Family is a good thing!
Mom has not been very good! Ironically she has gone downhill since thanksgiving. She has had two bad falls and one where Dad was right there and saved her. Some good news is we made arrangements for a Physical Therapist to come in and help with her legs. We also got a medical/hospital bed set up for her. She has spent the last three days in bed. Home health came and also made an assessment. Mom told the nurse she was fine--so the assessment was she did not need home health. I could not be there for the assessment and she is very touchy about this topic. We agreed for the time being that I will go and help her bathe and maybe do a bit of laundry two days a week (Dad is good to do dishes and laundry the rest of the week as of now). She is so sad and keeps saying over and over "this is ridiculous". PLEASE remember her in your prayers and PLEASE call her (a quick call is good medicine!!) I will also try to go and cook up a bunch of freezer meals and see if we can put weight back on Dad. We will get the stitches out of his eye on Friday--and I will update you then. If you have any time during the holidays to visit....they would love it (even 15 minutes)
