Update on Stepmom -- What happen last night & today!



Well, most of you know by now my stepmom has had to have 3 tumors removed from her throat/thyroid area. Well, last night I was talking with my dad and he said that he had to take my stepmom to the doctor's today because her throat area on her neck was swelling up. And it looked like there was blood filling up in there. She tried to take a picture and send it to me. I hope I can get it posted on here.. Well, it post above instead of down here. LOL! But anyway you can see what I am talking about. Well, she went to the doctor today and he said that this is normal because it is the only place the blood can go is down there. I am WHAT how is that? I just don't understand it. She has to go back on Friday or one day this next week. I can't remember what may dad told me today. The reason I was not remembering is because there has been so much going on here today. Sorry picture is not that great but thought I would show you what she sent to me.

My uncle had to go the VA for his renal and diabetes check up. They have changed him all up on his medicines again and so now I have to help him out more with that and we have to record his readings for his diabetes again. This is so much a pain in the butt sometimes. He just turned 61 yrs old and he lives with us and I have to help him out with his medicines because if not he will not either take them or he will take too much. He did that once last week and we had to call the ambulance on him because his blood sugar dropped and went below 40. Where it is suppose to be at least 90 or 120. So, they had to give him a lot of candy, juice and gel sugar and it still only brought it back up to 72. He was like almost into a coma state. So, we have to keep an eye on him at all times. I think he maybe getting Dementia or Alzheimer's. I don't know but that is what I think is going to be happening. His mother had Dementia and was getting Alzheimer's herself before she passed away. So, it could be but I will watch him and take care of him the best that me and my mom know how too.
Well, I guess I will go for now and get ready to spend a little time with my hubby for a change after he gets out of the shower. He stinks so bad that I made he get into the shower because he has been working on cars all day and stinks like grease and oils. Thanks again for taking the time to read and I will talk to you soon. God bless and many hugs, support, prayers and lots of love, KAT :OD

Update on Stepmom!!!


Thank you all very much for being the Guardian Angels that you are, because I just got the call from my dad and my stepmother is out of the surgery and in her own room resting. Everything went well the doctor said they took out the 3 tumors and they just have to wait and see if it is cancerous or not. That may take up to 2 weeks to find out. My stepmother will be able to come home tomorrow sometime if everything goes right for the next 24 hours. So, keep the prayers coming.

My dad said she can talk a little bit much it is like a whisper right now. He didn't tell me how bad she was cut and if anything was disfigured because he sounded like he was very tired or he may have been asleep. But who knows I am just very thankful that she is doing okay. Thank you all for everything. You all have been very great to me during all this.

If I hear anything else I will be sure to update you all. Thanks again for everything and you all have a great and blessed night. I will be signing off for a while because this blog got me upset because I have been trying to get this header on here for over 2 hours and it was not allowing me. I guess they were having issues because I was not able to add a post for the past 30 minutes on here. LOL! SO, maybe that was what was wrong with why I couldn't post the header but now I got it on there until I can get a new template.

Do you all know of any place I can get a new template from or do you all know how to do the template? Just wondering because I would love to learn how to do them. Thanks a million!!! Many hugs and support, love and prayers, KAT :OD
