bad news

According to the doctor the MRI

shows vascular dementia.  That

is scary in and of itself.  The most

scary part is that he told my dad it

would be a good idea to get all the

kids together for Christmas.  I don't

know if that means he thinks she's going

to die soon or that she might not 

remember us before too much  longer.
I simply don't know.  Since I have

her medical power of attorney I am

going to call the doctor today and get

an appointment to discuss the situation.

  I need to know, if possible, what kind of

scenario we are dealing with.  Maybe

he won't be able to tell me much,

but I need to ask.

Here is the third card for Dianne's friend.

Tomorrow I will have the card box to

show.  It is supposed to be for 5 cards

so they may move around a bit.  She only

wanted three.  But I don't think that

will really matter a lot.  It's such a pretty

box and I haven't made it in a long

time.  Very easy, too.  As you can see,

I'm kind of into the gold at the moment!

Robin is going to try to be on the road

next Wednesday.  It kind of falls

at a good time since the courts will

be closed for a 4 day weekend next week.

She has vacation time coming so if

the weather turns bad she can always

stay.  I think her husband, Steve, is going

to stay to keep an eye on the dogs and

birds so they don't have to pay a kennel

and person to come take care of the birds.

It would be nice to have him here for her

but we can all rally around each other.

It's going to be a hard Christmas for sure.

Happy Wednesday
