Not much art happening here

Hello my friends. Yes, I know, I haven't posted anything to my blog in several days. No time for art. As you know from reading my blog, that my mom who will soon be 89 has Alzheimer's.

Last Thursday while I was at the hairdresser's getting my haircut, I received a phone call from the visiting nurse that she had called  9-1-1  for an ambulance for my mom. My mother was complaining of chest pressure.  Mom was brought to Jordan Hospital, and there they ran lots of tests and she was kept for a few days. No heart problems were detected, but they changed up her heart medications, found she a UTI and put her on an antibiotic. The doctor also put her on Prilosec for acid reflux.  Anyway, mom came home on Sunday and seems to be doing okay. The stress of all this is taking a toll on my 93 year old dad. Dad remains in denial about my mom's condition.

Saturday night we celebrated our son, Steven's 39th birthday with a nice dinner and birthday cake.

Nice family pics, that one titled "waiting patiently" is adorable. Think I see a little of the devil in those eyes! Wishing you more peaceful days coming, and wellness for your Mom.
