Kelli, Mom called me at 6:30am, too. She didn't ask me to bring her gum though.
And I didn't actually answer the phone. I called her back at 7:30 when my eyes were open and I had some coffee brewing.
Me: Did you call me at 6:30 in the morning?
Mom: Yeah. (In the way that only Mom can say "Yeah")
Me: Just because you're laid up in the hospital doesn't mean you can call me that early. Don't ever call me that early again.
Mom: (Laughing.) I thought you'd be up!
Me: When have you EVER known me to be up that early.
That was the beginning of our fairly long conversation. And now I feel good about my mother's recovery. It was just like before she went in. We went back and forth and I listened to her just breathe for a little while. (Because sometimes that's what we do- just listen to each other breathe over the phone.) Things seem back to normal.
She will get the results of the blood cultures back today. She said, "Today we will know something."
I already know something....
Everything's going to be fine.
Love you!
*Edited to update:
Mom just called and the bacteria infection is called Klebsiella.
They gave her a new bag of medicine (she didn't say what it was) and she's going to get some shut-eye before Shelia arrives.

Now that picture is pretty scary!!!! Glad to know they found out what the bacteria is....now they'll fix it! You sounded great this morning, Rose. I hope Larry doesn't get too caught up in work today - of course if he does, maybe he won't do any more of his clean ear tricks! Take care and I'll talk to you soon. Love to all.
