Hero of the Week

Yesterday Mom had a doctor's appointment at 2:30.  She's gotten much weaker and I knew that Hannah and I weren't going to be able to get her down the steps and into the van by ourselves.  I asked Bobby if he would be able to help me.  He was in school in Shelby until 1:45 but he said he'd come and help.  Bobby got here a little after 2 and Mom said she wasn't getting out of the chair.  Bobby convinced her to get up, got her into the wheelchair, got the wheelchair down the steps, and got her into the van.  At the doctor's office, they had someone come out and get her out of the van and then back into it after her appointment.  When we got home, Bobby drove over and helped get her out of the van and back into the house.  I don't know what we'd have done without him.  He went out of his way to help.  So Bobby Ledwell is my hero of the week!  Thank you, Bobby.

Mom's doctor is concerned that she's much weaker and more confused.  He took her off her some medications to see if they were causing her decline.  She's going back September 30.  He didn't have her records from the ER the day she was unresponsive so he's getting those. The physical therapist did her reevaluation today and she could see the decline as well.  Please keep Mom in your prayers.
