Got a call from the Nursing Home, and They don’t think Mom will make it through the day. She has COPD, heart problems with a pacemaker, suffers from Afib, has only one kidney and now has the Delta variant COVID. I’ve even psyching myself up for this for several days, but it is still hitting me like I’ve been kicked by the legendary Missouri Mule.
Just wanted to let my friends, perfect strangers yet Brothers, know I have and do appreciate all your past and future prayers/well wishes.
We have been “called in” before and she has pulled through. She might well again, she is a tough old bird. But this time I think she’s tired.
Thank you Dogs, and especially Dan. For it was his vision of how/what he wanted this site to be. His desire to bring together strangers with a desire, a love for fine steel that ordinary working stiffs can afford. He will not tolerate Ill will nor bad language making it a place where the whole family can read without fearing for young ears. Thank you Dan, Long Live The Brotherhood Of The Yard.

Prayers out for your Mom, You and your family.
It's rough and one of my best friends just went through nearly the same thing with her Mom who was also a friend of ours.
I wish I could give you some great advice that would make things better. But I can't. I can offer my friendship and an ear to listen if you need it.

Thanks MB. It’s the kind words and thoughts that count. Sometimes nothing more is required than just being willing to listen. Maybe for once I’ve said something worthwhile.

Oh Randy, so sorry. I saw your post when you said she had tested positive for covid but hoped the vaccination would help pull her through. Best to you and yours.

Thank you Rich. I just got off the phone with them and they said no change (which is good) and that Mom was fighting it. But as we all know because of one situation or another, being in limbo kinda stinks.

Thanks Todd. I know this sounds callous, but once you accept the fact it might well be “any time now” this constant up and down is almost as stressful.
They are saying her overall response (?) has gotten worse. They gave her meds 4 times last night, which they haven’t done before. HOPEFULLY we’ll be able to do a FaceTime with her later on today.
