She uses a cane/walker to get around and even getting up from sitting requires pushing off with both arms so this will be a difficult time for her. She is scared of hospitals so I am hoping we can get someone to come to the house. It is so hard being so far away. I have been talking to work and I think they will let me take off for a week even though it is very busy right now. I really want to be there for her as she has always been there for me. So please send prayers to comfort and heal my mom (Barbara). Thank you. Carolyn |
Prayers and thoughts from Tiny and me for your mom. Hopefully the workup they should do to find the cause of her dizziness will put her less at risk. I am sure she will not or should not be sent home until she can safely move about. It is so hard when living far away. We will keep you too in our prayers...
