Hospital and Rain


Well, I misspoke on the previous blog. Mom was not better. Early evening she was really wheezing. We happened upon a hospital when we went out to the store, so we took her to the emergency. She was admitted and she is still there. The hospital and staff is very nice. It is small, only 244 beds, and quite new. Yesterday, we had a scare when the doctor called to come immediately. She had a bad attack of not being able to breathe, but they were able to help her. They wanted her directive. She does not want to be resuscitated if it comes to that again. Now praying that everything will work out okay. She does not have pneumonia. Xray showed the lungs clear; its that they are not working good. It is noon on Tuesday and have not head anything yet. Because she has a breathing machine on her, we can't call her.

UPDATE: It is about 5 o'clock now and just got back from the hospital. She just has the oxygen in her nose.  However, she has trouble breathing when standing.  Could be discharged on Thursday, but needs to go to a nursing home to gain the strength back. They have one in Destin, our next location.

All hooked up but still smiling and joking.


This is a view of the afternoon rain outside the hospital window.  The traffic was terrible yesterday because all the spring breakers down here were out shopping and eating at restaurants. However, it did stop by early evening.  Today there is sunshine but a cold wind.


This is our site #8.  Nice spot with no one behind us. Will check out some more of this place later.  Ranger Rex is again travelling with us.  He is sitting on the handle by the door.
