Hey all,
   I SINCERELY thank everyone who has Mom in their prayers!

I'm sorry I haven't been posting much, and not gotten back to ya'll.
She is still not looking good, not as bad as that Sunday, when she had
fallen early a.m. couldn't get up and couldn't call out loud enough for
anyone there to hear her. That ER doc and I both thought she'd be gone that
night.
My two, (very wonderful, funny as all get out, and extremely supportive)
Aunts have been here, from Boston and NJ, since Tuesday!

My mom is very close to Aunt Winnie, and Aunt Pat & I are the same way.  Pat
came over from Scotland when I was about 12, and lived with us for 3 years,
until she married her hubby. (All of the family is from Scotland, and I was
born a few months after they moved here. Three of the girls, that moved to
America, lived with us for one to three years.)
It's so much fun listening to everyone as we all wind up falling into the
Scottish accent when we get together. My mom has had many laughs, and is so
grateful I asked them to come out now.
But she was looking very tired and haggarrrrt & pealy-wally <----Scottish
terms <smile> yesterday. My Aunts went grocery shopping and bought enough
food for dinner for all of us, 10 altogether out here, themselves and
immediate family. And we're having dinner every night together at Mom's. So
even tho I don't think she will last much longer, it's soooo great to see
her laugh with her younger sisters for a week......

Love to all, and prayers out to anyone needing them, thanks for the
heartfelt empathy notes. There's NO other group on USENET as supportive and
as caring as everyone here!
