Great Grandma Cottam
Grandma looked so pretty tonight I really wanted a picture of her and my boys, but....that was about a million times harder than it should be! And how can you tell how pretty she is when it's the middle of a wrestling match? Oh well, we love her and it was great to see her!
However they were far more cooperative when she was cutting up and passing out Apple slices :)

Dr. Visit. And moreI
Okay finally have a minute here the latest.
Mom go home late Wednesday night June 16. Thursday she really looked terrible. I mean her face was distorted besides being thin and hunched over and hurting. I took her to NUCCA Dr. And he would not even work on her. he advised us to go to the emergency room and get a CAT scan. There were members of the family who didn't want her to do that so we didn't go. I felt that mom was frustrated with that decision because she felt like we weren't doing anything for her. On Friday I took her to see her primary care doctor. Almost immediately upon seeing her, her doctor ordered a CAT scan. Her office staff scampered around trying to get one right that minute, But it was Friday afternoon and nobody wanted to do it for her. So she has one on the books as soon as they call us. She did not like the way she looked at all and in fact kept repeating how much she had changed since she has last seen her. She wants a CAT scan so she has a baseline , If in two or three weeks mom has a real setback. We need to watch for fever, dizziness, nausea, Confusion, repetitiveness,unsteadiness. Dr. Also ordered physical therapy, had me call right then while I was in the office and get that scheduled starting Tuesday. I have been trying especially today, to let mom do a few more things for herself. She has so much time on her hands and just sits there and Thinks of things for me to do and I am sorry to say but I don't have all the time in the world to just sit and pamper her every minute. I still rub her with essential oils two or three times a day. She is not ready to go out anywhere yet. She would love someone to come by and polish her nails or do her hair or let her tell them about Japan. Oh let me stand corrected : it is Okinowa not Japan. If anybody has a few minutes anytime during the day, it sure would help me out. Thank you all for your prayers.
I will write again in a few days.
