Albertville, AL
Well, my last line in yesterday's blog was wishful thinking. Not only did Mom try to get up from bed last night, she fell again in the process. Erik got her back in bed, but she fell again in the bathroom after she got up in the morning. We headed back to the ER (primary care physician's phone was busy all morning). They ran some more tests and, needless to say, they decided to keep her overnight, for at least one night. We got her settled in her room and went home to take care of the pups. We went back in the evening, and she's doing well even though she doesn't want to be there. She's less resistant than I'd have expected.
This evening, we cleaned up the mess from today's fall and aired the apartment out. Tomorrow, we're having the carpets cleaned and Wednesday we'll wash all the floors, counters and cabinets so everything will be clean when she comes home, probably some time Wednesday.
Erik's doing a great job of helping out, making sure that he handles all his chores and helping keep Grandma calm. She was really happy to have him visit this evening.
We'll get through this...
