A Veritable Dearth Of Posts
My mother is in the hospital—-again. This is Day Three. I guess I’ve mentioned here that she now has C.diff, a horrible bacterial infection of the intestine that usually begins with too many courses of antibiotics and ends with Dear Lord You Really Don’t Want To Know. She’s suffered with this for what? Three months? Honestly, a daughter loses count after awhile.
Now she’s got complications of THAT condition. Yesterday she had a sigmoidoscopy and got through it OK. Haven’t met with the GI doc to talk about results yet.
Today is the first day I paused long enough to discover that the hospital wifi, it is free.
As usual, small mercies everywhere.
Mom has also been in good spirits, which makes all of our lives so much easier. She’s had five UTIs so far in 2008, and that was icky enough. This is….ickier.
Small mercies, received with gratitude. Thank you, Jesus.
- Oh, Katy, I'm praying. Hugs.

- My mom had C. diff. I think she now refers to it as "the thing I'd rather not get more than anything else." Your poor mom!

- Suzan--I miss you. Couldn't you come to ACFW, just this once??? Thanks for the prayers.
Marymuses--Your poor mother, too! My dear mother has SO MANY health problems, that this is just one more. She's had five UTIs in 2008, and nearly died from complications of one (spiked fever, seizure, systems-wide failures...). Weirdly, one of my sisters now has C.diff, too. Apparently from her own problems with antibiotics.....
Gracie--You are sweet. Thank you. I appreciate your kind heart.
Carrie K--You've hung in here with me for a lot of this, you darling girl. My mother moved into assisted living 6 years ago today. She'd been sick a full year before that. We honestly didn't see how she'd make it six months back then. She has an amazingly strong constitution, almost in spite of herself. Thanks for being so patiently fallible as to keep checking in here....Posted by Katy on 06/22/08 at 10:32 PM
