Heartache

I wish I had more good news to report about my mom but really she is doing about the same. We are making baby steps in that her balance is a little better at times and I hope she'll be able to walk again eventually. She is coming to terms with the fact that there are things she'll probably never be able to do again, like drive and babysit the grand babes, and it is VERY sad and hard for her. It makes my heart ache that she is hurting and I am so far away and can't do more. Her speech, vision, and hallucinations are still up and down, good days and bad. It's extra difficult now because my sister has open heart surgery next week on Valentines day and we can't help but be worried about complications. I just have to remember that is out of our hands and we just have to have faith that she'll be fine and have a quick recovery. Fingers crossed, prayers, well wishes, and love is all I can give.
