This is from Grandma, with comments from Joanne
From Grandma: "As you know by now, recently I became very deaf. I have been examined by three doctors and none of them can explain the trouble or neither can they promise any improvement. I am hoping to get over the extreme nervousness this has caused, so will surely appreciate your prayers in my behalf.
At present, nobody is quite sure what to do with me, but I have stayed at Carolyn's recently. She tries to call me from work to check on me, but I can't hear what is said over the phone.
Today she hired a young woman whose tiny baby is named Valerie to stay with me. It cost $50 for six hours, so we can't do that often.
The coming Saturday is Sean & Dani's wedding, and this house is full of decorations for the event. Pray for Carolyn and Joe, and for me, too, that we may get through Saturday gracefully." Love, Mom
We "kids", Jean, John, Carolyn, Joe, George, Jo, see Mom as doing really well on the medication. She is tolerating it well, and it's helping her with other issues, like walking. We also know, though, that it's only a short-lived thing. You can't take steroids for a long period of time. Just ask some of the athletes around town! For right now, she's hearing a tiny bit better, but the phone conversations are still difficult. We maintain the plan of taking each day on its own. We can always make huge changes, but we don't need to do that right now. Everybody is helping out and all are happy Mom is doing well. We're all looking forward to the coming weekend, where we'll dress up, eat out, and dance a lot. See you there. If not, maybe somebody will have a camera to catch the festivities for the rest of you all.
Fall has come to the south Florida scene; it was 68 degrees this morning on the commute to work. No humidity, a beautiful giant white moon, and generally the kind of reason why folks have moved here in the first place. Some of us who have returned after a hiatus returned for the family, but the weather's sure a plus.
For some of us who need review, we need to know how to put a message on in the first place, and how to sign on new members, like Mom. She wants her own space. We tried signing her up, but they wouldn't put her on this family blog.
