fatcat is like a genius , thinking ahead all the time.

Shhhhh, don't actually tell him he is a genius.  

He is very excited about the car, the only real regret he has is that he found it so late in the "car show" season.

I just got a call from enjenjo.  His internet is down at the moment, but he will be back as soon as he can.

Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes.  The doctors decided that surgery was not necessary and she has completed the usual two week antibiotic therapy that they usually do.  So, now we are looking for a rehab that will allow at least one member of the family to be with her 24/7.  She seems to be fine with Dad during the day but has shown her rather vivid imagination during the early morning hours.

Last night she insisted there was a fire and we had to "get out".  There was no fire.  That is just one of several tales each of her daughters now have to tell and compare notes on how we dealt with them.

Again, thanks for all of the thoughts and prayers sent this way.  They are greatly appreciated.

Just thought I'd give an update.  Mom has been moved to the hospital where her doctors practice and will see the neurosurgeon in the morning.  Some aspects of her condition are better and some seem to be worse.  Dad hopes to talk to the doctor in the morning.

Gee, a mother-in-law that has blanked out a wedding and son-in-law! Imagine that.  

Well, she didn't remember the birth of her first great grandchild either.  But, at least this time she is having an easier time remembering Frank's name.

Mom is still in the hospital, but they have moved her from the CCU to a regular room.  We are still waiting for the neurosurgeons to make a decision about what will be done.  Must admit, I'm getting a bit frustrated with the delays.  But, my father is a very patient man and Mother does need to get stronger before any surgery.

I realize it may be impossible for Frank to stay out of trouble, but if we can keep the damage down to a minimum that would be great.

They took the ventilator and feeding tube out yesterday and Mom is talking.  She did recognize me but didn't remember Frank or the fact we got married.  She does have alzheimer's and that was not entirely unexpected.  Naturally, she wants to go home now but that won't happen for some time yet.

We do know that the shunts are infected and will have to be replaced.  The questions that remain are: who will perform the surgery, where will it take place and when will it happen.  There is also concern that her blood count is not coming up even though she has been given several units of blood.  But, all in all, things are looking much better than they did a couple of days ago.

Hi all,

Thanks for the prayers and notes of concern.

Mom is still in the Critical Care Unit but seems to be improving at a snail's pace.  There seem to be some mysteries about her condition, but we do know that the shunts in her head are infected and will have to be replaced.  For that we are waiting for a consultation with the neurosurgeon who last operated on her.  He was out of town until today.  We are still waiting to hear whether or not they will be transferring her to another hospital.

I will be staying with my dad for now.  Please help keep an eye on Frank to make sure he doesn't get into more trouble than usual.

Yes, we are still serious on each other.  And, the honeymoon is supposed to end?  Hmmmmm, someone seems to have forgotten to tell Frank that  

I just want to thank everyone for their congratulatory notes on our first wedding anniversary. It has been a great year and we are looking forward to many more together.

Shelby has been told that she is not allowed to date until she is 46.  But, for some reason, she doesn't believe me.  

Hi Miss Kitty!!!  

Hi,

We did have a great time.  It is hard to believe that a whole year has gone by.  It was a year ago that Fat Cat proposed.
