Mom Update, January 25, 2012, Wednesday

Hi,


I am trying to add an attachment of a video, hopefully it works.


THis past Sunday was Anthony Michael's 16th birthday. We all celebrated at mom's house and the best gift that Anthony received was that mom walked for him! She stood out of her wheel chair and walked down the hall with her walker. Dad stands behind her (he doesn't touch her, he is there in case she falls) and Anthony stands in front. Mom lifted her feet and walked down the hall!!!


On another note, last night when I went to see mom I noticed that dad's eye was very blood shot (as if a blood vessel had burst). I told him he should go to the eye doctor since he has had a few surgeries on his eyes and has an eye condition.


Today, around 2pm I called dad to see if he went to the doctor. Mom answered the phone. "Hi" she said in a very cheery voice. I said, "Hi, mom?" very confused. She said yes and I asked her how she was and she said, "Oh I'm fine." I asked how her day was and she said, "Oh I'm having a good day, everything is fine." I then asked to speak to dad and mom said, "Oh he's not here, he went to the eye doctor." I then asked her who was with her and she said, "No one is here. I am alone." My heart stopped! I said, "What? You aren't supposed to be alone. THere has to be someone there." She said, "No. Dad went to the eye doctor and no one is here." I told her to put the phone down and yell very loud, "Is anyone here." She did and no one answered so she said, "See, I'm all alone. You kids make such a big deal out of everything. I am fine the aide comes in a little while" I started to panic and said, "Yell dad's name really loud" and she did. No answer! I asked her what she was doing and she said she was in the living room watching TV. I told her to sit still, not get up and I would call her in a few minutes. I then called my mom's friend Flo who lives around the block and asked her if she would come over! I told her what happened and she said she would call from mom's house.


A few minutes passed and the phone rang, it was Flo. My dad was in the bathroom!!!


I was shaking! Dad got on the phone and said he didn't hear the phone ring or mom calling him. Mom had heard that dad had to go to the eye doctor and when dad left the room she assumed he left to go to the doctor!

Just another boring day with mom!!!

The video is too big. I will try tomorrow.
