Mother's Day 2010

We were hoping Mom would be out of MUSC for Mother's Day, but it didn't work out that way. I went up to Charleston on Friday to spend a couple of days with Mom & Dad. We celebrated our Mother's Day on Saturday. My brother went there to be with her today after he worked brunch.


Going to the bathroom has been a problem, but it seems that those issues have been resolved. Daddy has been trained on helping Mom with the bedpan & changing her sheets, etc. Today Daddy took her for a ride around the hospital once she got into the wheelchair. She even got to go outside for awhile. It was the first time she's been outside in over 2 weeks!

Mom wanted me to be home with Blake for Mother's Day, so I returned to Myrtle Beach last night. We went to church this morning, then lunch with my in-laws. Came home & took a nap while Blake napped. We went to Market Common after that. Walked around, fed the ducks, had some dinner at King Street Grille. Blake ate like such a big boy; using his fork & not throwing any food on the floor. We walked around a bit more, took some pictures by the fountain, then came home. All in all, a good day!

I know Mom is sad that she hasn't been able to see Blake since all this happened, but I plan on taking him to visit as soon as she's moved to rehab.

Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!

It's good to hear that Linda is making such improvements. I know it will be a long haul, but she will get stronger each day. I can't wait to come and see her. Please give her my love.
