Well, there have been no exciting blog posts out of me the past few days. I am at a loss for creative ideas.
I am tired.
It has been a looong weekend. My Mom had a little setback...and she is back in the hospital about a week after her surgery. Lets just say a certain "Doctor" doubled one of her medications...in error.
In ERROR??
How the heck does that even happen??
She was so very sick. My poor mother. Survives raising 8 children, but a pill almost "does her in." (Her words there, not mine.)
But...she is recovering from that little episode now...so I am choosing to dwell on the happy things.
I'm sharing another of my favorite "Mom" photos. It was May 1956. Mom & Dad were on their honeymoon in Florida. They had so little money when they were starting out. I love the thought of them tooling around South Florida in their old Chevy. Driving on the beach...sand on their feet and the wind in their hair.
Life seemed so simple back then.
Am thankful your momma is okay now. Hospital mistakes are tough on everyone. We try to make sure we have someone staying w/family members now. I know its not always possible...but there is much to be said for having a "patient advocate".
ReplyDeleteYour photos remind me of my folks.
I agree, how does that happen? In this day and age we have so many medical miracles and it just boggles me that they can't prevent such silly mistakes. But I am glad that she wasn't "done in" and is back to feeling a little more like herself. Gorgeous photo of her~
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo of her! I am happy to hear she is doing okay though...it really is terrible when mistakes happen...prayers are with your momma...and how beautiful she looks in that photo:)
ReplyDeleteI love these old pictures you are sharing - how sweet to cherish! I too can't understand how modern medicine messes up so often, but I'm so glad that it was caught and she's now improving. I'll send up some more prayers for her and your family :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame this had to happen to your mom. Thankfully she recovered... eight kids! Wow, seven in my family, but I love all the company!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures you are sharing are gorgeous, they would make a beautiful wall display!

ReplyDeleteI love the old photos you have posted of your parents. Everything did seem so simple back then. I hope your mom recovers quick and gets home soon!

The photo is gorgeous and perfect! Hope your mom keeps getting better - crazy how those little "errors" can cause such huge problems. Glad to hear she's on the upswing.
ReplyDeleteI have heard that every patient in the hospital needs to have an advocate around.
ReplyDeleteI can see by her photograph that your mama is a beautiful person, and that beauty is radiated from from the inside out. Here's to healthy mamas!
I love the photo of your Mom on the car, I have one of my (deceased) Mom that I do treasure. They all look so happy and carefree posing. Hope she is on the mend and I know she is being taken well care of. Lovely to meet you and your blog.Though don't have a clue how I got here, you know how that happens.
ReplyDeletelife was so much simpliar back then..sorry to hear on your mom. She will bounce back. My prayers go out to you and your family! lulu
