Update on Mom

Hi, I know Its been a while. I have been super busy. Since my last post when My mom was released from the hospital in May it was very busy and she was a lot of work. I have a update on her condition if you read below will give some update on whats been happening. Her C02 is building up in her lungs and she is not strong enough to clear the co2 on her own. It has been a long few months and even longer last 20 days. Now that she has been moved out of the hospital into a skilled nursing facility, Hopefully I will be able to get on some kind of routine. She has seemed to be doing much better the last 2 days. She has intertistial lung disease so there really isnt much the hospital can do for her once they got her stable. She needs to be on a bi pap machine at night that helps clear the co2 out of her lungs. Anyhow thanks for your patience during this difficult time and things should be getting calmer here in the next week. I was updating my ebay store regulary with the details but was spending so much time at the hospital that by the time I got home I didn't have enough energy to post the blog to update.

My mom whom I take care of was admitted into the hospital today with a bad case of neumonia in both lungs. They had to intubate her (breathing tube) she also has some other issues going on too. They put her in ICU. She is in bad shape. I can respond to emails via my phone. If you are in a hurry for something please contact me first. I may have a 1-3 day delay in processing orders depending on how things go. Thanks for your understanding. I will try and update this page daily.

My mom is still in critical condition and I have been at the hospital. Plumbing in the house backed up this morning and so while I was waiting for a plumber I was able to get a few packages out. I have to leave to go back to the hospital now so I will try and get more done when I have time. I apologize for any inconvience this is causing however I must attend to my mother I hope you all understand. Thank you.

Good news. They took the breathing tube out today. She is more alert than she has been in 5 days. They have her on a special breathing mask now. (bi-pap) She is still not good but today showed many improvements which makes me more hopefull that she will recover. Tonight when I came home from the hospital I was able to get more packages ready to ship out in the morning. If she continues to improve I should be caught up with all packages by tomorrow evening. Thanks for your paitence and understanding during this difficult time.

No change today. She is still off the breathing tube. She didnt look so good today though and they just started giving her real food. I got a lot of the packages done and shipped out yesterday, thursday. I did a few more tonight and have just a few to do tomorrow and then I am caught up. I emailed everyone who's item went out already that they shipped.

Friday Morning

I have caught up with all shipping. So if you have purchased your packages have gone out. Thanks

Busy weekend at the hopsital it was a good day for my mom then a bad day. Right now she is still in ICU but doing a little better. I am all caught up with shipping items that have been paid for except for 1 that is going out of the country. I will get that done On Tuesday. I should only be a day to ship out new paid orders as long as things remain stable. Thanks

Wednesday July 1st

My mom took a turn for the worse yesterday and is not doing well at all today. All packages have been shipped out that have been paid for. I havent had the time to send out emails saying when packages were shipped however you should have received the email from the post office saying the label was printed and that will tell you the day they were mailed. Thanks a bunch for your patience during this difficult time.

The days are just all running together , It seems like I just updated the page a couple of days ago. They moved my mother into TCU Yesterday so at least she is out of intensive care now. But she is still being monitored very closely. They havent been able to say what is causing her problems other than her lungs and body are very weak. Please keep her in your prayers. I will try and process the orders from this weekend in the morning on Monday. Please keep in mind there was the 4th of July holiday and the post office was closed 1 day.

July 9th.

Things are still up and down and unstable. Its like being on a emotional rollercoaster one day I am hopefull she will recover then the next day I am fearful that she won't . She just doesnt seem to have consecutive good days. I was unable to do any shipping today. I will try and get yesterdays purchases out in the morning before I go to the hospital.

July 11,th (day 20 of hospitals)

My mom was released to a skilled nursing facility last night. I will still be busy with her but should now be able to get packages out within 24-48 hours. Thanks.
