Aloha everyone. I hope all is well back home. As for us here in Rochester, we are doing okay. Mom had a little setback today. She was supposed to have her catheter removed but the doctors decided to leave it in because the kidney drain has too much output. They are monitoring the fluid output for the next 24 hours and hopefully the catheter can be removed tomorrow. Mom is pretty disappointed but she is still in good spirits. As I am typing this, her "neighbor" has stopped by to visit. She has had part of her leg amputated and a knee replaced. She is such a positive motivator for mom. We should all count our blessings. Things could be so much worse.
Well, Gerald and I leave tomorrow. Uncle Ed and Dorothy will stay back until September 8th. I will be returning on the 8th to be with mom until she is well enough to fly home. We have no idea how long that will be. The main thing is that mom is recovering well, and that she has had no complications. She is responding well to physical therapy, she is completely off of oxygen, and her blood pressure has been perfect. Hopefully the kidney drain will cooperate and her catheter can be removed soon.
I want to take this opportunity to thank Uncle Ed Medeiros and Dorothy Dutra for staying here with mom. They have left their families to be with mom, and have agreed to stay while Gerald and I are gone. We are truly blessed to have family and friends that care so much for mom. All of you are precious and we thank you all for everything you have done.
I have to leave tomorrow. I will miss being here. Mom is in the best hands possible, and she has her brother and best friend with her. I will be with my daughter for her surgery on the 31st, but will return here as soon as possible. I am hopeful that mom can be back home in the next 2-3 weeks. Everything is in God's hands and we trust that mom will be fully recovered very soon. With your continued prayers, she will be home soon. Take care and God bless.
