Update on Angelica

Not much of an update, still in Primary Children's, no longer in a medicated coma, but the doctor's still don't know what's going on.

Theater etiquette

Don & I went to see the movie Tangled tonight at the Worm Creek Opera House in Preston. We tried to see it last Monday, but it was sold out. It had sold out every night, so they held it over. They only run movies Friday, Saturday & Monday here.

Theaters need to do what courts do, not allow cell phones in the theater. Lady in front of us, guy to her side, guy to my side & someone down a few rows was texting. I held my soft drink glass up to block the light from the cell phone in front of us, Don thought I was offering him the cup. I told him no, I was trying to block the light from the cell phone in front of us.

Pretty cute movie. I've been wanting to see it since it came out in theaters. It's an animated story of Rapunzel. I like "fractured" fairy tales. I had to go potty really bad, but didn't want to get up & miss anything. It looks like I need to put it on my Netflix queue, so I can close caption it.

Speaking of Netflix, Mother & I watched Daddy Day Care last Sunday. It was SOOO funny.I've got to find it so I can return it.

Please pray

My aunt Luana's 13-yo granddaughter Angelica, Cleve's daughter, was lifeflighted to Primary Children's Medical Center in Salt Lake City last night. She is in critical condition. Please include her in your prayers. She was hospitalized here at Franklin County Medical Center Sunday with pneumonia. It is now systemic pneumonia. She is in a medically induced coma. They intubated her here in Preston before she was flown down.

So, never having heard of systemic pneumonia, I googled it. I remembered my sister Wanda died of pneumonia. She had systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE). Had several hits for both pneumonia & SLE.

However, Angelica has Down Syndrome. I found this in googling "Down Syndrome pneumonia"

In addition, there is a 62-fold higher incidence of pneumonia in children with Down syndrome than in the general population.

Wow! Didn't find much on systemic pneumonia. I guess I'll have to wait for updates from Luana.

Also, the head of nursing over the nursing home is a real biddy & Sylvia, Angelica's mother, may lose her job if she misses too much work. Please include Sylvia in your prayers also.

Another update on Mother

I updated Mother's Caring Bridge blog again. I'm doing better on her blog than on my own.

I've been wanting to see the movie Tangled ever since it came out in the theaters. It's here in Preston & Don said he'd go to the movie with me. I have mild panic disorder. It used to be severe, but I've been working on it. However, tonight as we drove through town & I saw the line at the theater, I told Don maybe we'd better wait until it goes to Lewiston (Utah). Don found a parking space behind the stores & we walked around to State Street & got in line. We'd just got there, when they said the movie was SOLD OUT!! They will be holding it over for another week. I'm not really sure I want to be in an over filled movie theater, no matter how good the movie is supposed to be.

We went to see the movie Tron last week & I sat with my eyes closed most of the time because of the bright, flashing lights. Then, with my hearing impairment, I couldn't really understand what was being said anyway. Then it was in 3-D & 3-D isn't my favorite kind of movie anyway

Update on Mother

I updated Mother's CaringBridge blog this evening, so if you're interested in an update you can find the entry here.

Nick is doing much better after 24 hours on the antibiotic & he is faithful in taking it. Better than I am in taking my potassium.

New sale date

Citi Mortgage called this afternoon. The new sale date is 5/13/11. I'm glad it was postponed for more than 30 days. My certificate for bankruptcy is only good for 6 months though. We're still waiting on the same thing we were waiting on in September, an appraisal. Nothing we can do though. Just keep checking in every week.

Don reminded me we have a court date on Monday at 3 p.m. I thought it was Tuesday, so now it looks like I'll have to take Monday afternoon off. It's a good thing I've got vacation I have to use or lose again this year. I lost vacation hours in 2010.

Took Nick to the doctor this morning. He has bronchitis. We weighed him, Nick & I. It's the only place we can weigh him. I looked at the weight & told Nick he needs to lose. I've noticed his shirts are showing more skin. I asked Carolyn (nurse) if she wanted to mark the weight down, she said sure. I leaned close & whispered we didn't really want her to mark it down. I did tell her what it is, but don't know if she marked it or not.

I take Mother in to the doctor tomorrow. Her sisters are worried about her breathing. I wonder if she has bronchitis or pneumonia.

It's still true

The house did not go up for auction today. I took the day off in case I had to run to Pocatello to commit bankruptcy. I couldn't think of the word, Don assures me it is "file" bankruptcy. But committing sounds more like it to me.
