Since I have already mentioned my daughter’s baby and my mother illness, I thought maybe some of you might be curious about an update, so here it is. My new grandson is a delight and what a good baby he is. Also some of you may already know this trick, but it was new to me. When the baby is crying and you meet whatever need he is crying for, he doesn’t always know how to stop himself from crying any further and will continue. An easy way to calm him almost immediately is to take him by the sink and run the water, when he hears the water he will calm himself instantly. Of course, sometimes the second you shut the water off he will start again, but that’s another story…
Right now, my mother says she feels better than she has in a long time and hasn’t used her walker in about two weeks. The congenital heart failure seems to be getting under control too for the moment. Good news right? Well here’s the flip side. My father is ill and has to have a test. It’s a common test however he was advised that there is a two month waiting list. I think it’s a colonoscopy. They want him in tomorrow for evaluation. Why would there be a two month wait? This is the crappy hospital I mentioned in an ealier post. Is this kind of wait common? What about those who are suspected of having cancer and can’t afford to wait two months?
