Update on my mothers condition.
Friday October 20,2006. my mother had to have a surgery to have a portion of her
leg amputated.There is a blockage in her main artery in her leg that
has caused her to have very poor circulation. Her poor circulation is
the reason that her toes and foot got infected and then went gangrene.
My older brother and I talked with her doctor about a possible
vascular bypass and the doctor explained that she was not a good
candidate for that. The best option was to have a partial amputation
just below her knee. This does not correct the blockage in her main
artery in her leg, the focus was on the gangrene.
She made it through the surgery and they are keeping her in ICU. for
observation. We all talked to her doctor this afternoon and he told us
that it's one day at a time and that shes doing as well as to be
expected.
We had to postpone our trip to Florida to be with my mother.
Please, continued prayers for my mother!

October 10,2006. Update.
Well here's a brief update.- We closed on our house on Tuesday and I'm working out my 2 weeks notice here at IBM. - I did not get layed off like I thought I was going to. One reason we decided to sell our house and move was that as far back as June we were under the impression that we were going to be layed off. Hind sight is 20-20.
The movers moved all our stuff out this week so I'm staying at a hotel for the next week or so. I'm staying at the Extended stay America.
I probably won't e-mail you much in the near future because I sold our home P.C. and I'll be in transitition and all.
I still don't have any job prospects there in Nashville.- I've been in contact with a job placement agency but I believe that they are just waiting until I get there to find me something. Wish me luck.
Also, as you may already know October 20 is our anniversary and we are going to Miami Fla.to see Lesli' s folks and try to rest up after all this crap I've gone through with selling the house.
-My Mom seems to be getting weaker and more over medicated. She does'nt sound good when I talk to her on the phone. I'm going to go to Hoptown to see her this weekend.
