So I stole the title from a favorite ABBA song. It just seemed to fit the mood of the day.
Mom received a call early this morning that Larry had been unable to keep down his meds for the past 24 hours. This is a concern because of his imperative need for the seizure meds. (So I threw in the word imperative because Peter recently used that word with me and it made me laugh. That's what a high dollar Military school will get you, a kid with a vocabulary greater than your own.) So off Mom went to the ER with Larry. Larry was diagnosed with Pneumonia and he was admitted to the hospital. So 12 hours after getting dad out the hospital mom was back at the hospital with Larry.
I spent the evening with Larry so mom could visit Dad and do some laundry. He was already better this evening than when I was with him last night at the nursing home. Larry was talking to me where last night he just kept falling asleep. He seems to be getting good care. In addition to dealing with the pneumonia, they are checking into his kidney function and swallowing issues which are significant issues at this time
I visited with Dad for a bit this afternoon and he was fairly emotional about Larry going into the hospital. I think he also was not liking that Mom was not quite as available to him today. It wasn't a great day for Dad.
So the journey continues. Thank you for your prayers.
