I have some good, bad and ugly news to report – and a mix of all of these.

The good news is, Mom is a bit better today at Hillcrest and she had a nice talk with Aunt Tina and Uncle Bruce while they visited in from Toledo this afternoon. More good news, I also had a chance to catch up with the family after their visit…

Just in case you can’t believe there is more positive to report, there is! I successfully and happily celebrated my monumental birthday with my friends in Cleveland! My new place is clean and organized (at least as far as all my guests could see) and we had a lot of fun relaxing on the patio and sharing great stories and making new memories….

And more good news, the Jersey Boys was fantastic. Dad and I went to see it Wednesday night at the State Theatre at Playhouse Square. It is the story from four different perspectives about the members of the Four Seasons. Mom really wanted to see it, but it just wasn’t going to happen. Her strength is improving, but there won’t be outings any time soon… However… if YOU can see it, you MUST! What a blast!

Bad news is – you guessed it from the good line – Mom is back in the hospital. She had extreme nausea and was throwing up and after a call to the doctors, it was decided to admit her to the hospital again on Friday afternoon. Dad spent the day taking care of everything again and by the time I got there early evening, she was exhausted, but was hooked up to an IV and at least she had hydration and pain medication.

Keep saying your prayers. She was a bit better yesterday and a bit better today, so we are hoping for the best. Back to work tomorrow and soon we will be saying:

Happy July!!
