Some records are just not meant to be broken. Like Heat Waves and Hospital Stays.
Last week, the Dallas area sizzled past the old record of most 100 degree days in a summer. On Tuesday, we hit 107, making it 70 sweltering days in the triple digits. The old record was 69 days sets back in 1980. Brutal to be sure. That was one record that didn't need to be beat!
And then there are hospital stays. In the past 30 days, mom has spent a total of 24 of them entertaining the staff at Baylor Hospital. Not a month we wish to repeat!
We're glad to report that she continues to improve at home! Appetite remains steady, nausea is minimal (with only a few vomiting episodes), pain is under control, and she is even weaning herself off of the oxygen, slowly, but surely!
This morning we headed for the surgeon's office (not the hospital, yea!) for a quick day surgery procedure to implant her new medi-port. They wheeled her off around 10, so now we wait. With any luck, we'll be home in time for lunch. More updates to follow...
Praying we have seen the last of the heat and of the hospital. Bring on the beautiful days of autumn. We're ready to enjoy!
My Love, Jane
