Robin, sorry to hear about your mom, will keep her in my prayers and be thinking of you tomorrow. Keep us posted on her surgery.

**mysugarbears** · 12-20-2012, 08:51 PM

Robin, i will most definitely be keeping your mom in my prayers.

**Dixie's Mama** · 12-20-2012, 09:16 PM

Prayers for you and your Mom Robin.

**maggieh** · 12-20-2012, 09:53 PM

Robin, I am so very sorry about your mom and pray that all goes well with her surgery and recovery. Praying for comfort for her and rest for your both!

**Grace'sMom** · 12-20-2012, 10:15 PM

I'm sorry to hear about your mom

I will send some prayers for her.

**edelweiss** · 12-21-2012, 04:56 AM

Great to hear surgery is scheduled, Robin, and that she will be in-patient rehab. I know your mom probably wants to stay in her own home. It is so hard to move when dementia is involved as the familiar is so important. Oh my!

Sending you warm hugs, warm wishes and lots of patience.

Thank again everyone. Here's the latest:

She will need a complete shoulder replacement and surgery can't be done until after the 1st of the year. That is how backed up they are. I am trying really hard to find a way to get her taken care of sooner. In fact, the managing partner at the law firm where I work is close friends with one of the head surgeons at the orthopedic clinic. It is separate from the hospital. He has just sent an email to him asking for help. (Tried calling first but no answer.) The hospital is ready to discharge her now but until we have a plan, we can't do anything.

I'm at work today and my sister and brother are at the hospital. I'll head straight there at 3:00 when I leave here, that is, if they haven't kicked her out. This is a nightmare.

Oh gosh, and I thought Greece was bad! At least we can bribe if we HAVE to! I know this is not good news for you Robin. Please try & hang in there and hopefully a window of opportunity will be found soon!
Gentle hugs all around! Prayers to continue.

UPDATE: 'Tis the season for miracles! She has just been scheduled for surgery FIRST THING in the morning! I feel like a weight has lifted! I'll be staying at the hospital tonight so my sister can go home and rest. Most likely she'll be transfered to rehab on Sunday where she'll be for several weeks. In the meantime, we'll look for a full time care giver. Mother isn't going to like losing her independance, but there's a "mother-in-law" suite the care giver can live in. Mother had it rented out and her tenant just moved out a few days ago! God has a plan. Thanks for your prayers. I'll update when she's sporting her brand new shoulder tomorrow!

Oh, that is such great news, Robin!

What a blessing-- I hope and pray that your mother and her medical team will have nothing but the smoothest and most successful surgery and recovery tomorrow! Stay strong, my friend! :Hugs:
