Well I havent updated in awhile on my MIL.
She moved to Louisville KY on July 2nd, my SIL and her family live there and she works at a retirement facility.
My MIL has done good except she has gotten 3 UTI and when she gets one we know because she starts crying all the time.. She is very sensitive since the stroke.
Her knee therapy is doing ok, she can shuffle walk about 2 feet with a walker and get up out of her wheelchair by herself to a standing position. She cant run the wheelchair by herself(she has to be pushed) one side of her is alot slower so she cant seem to make much headway going forward in the chair..
So we went to see her this weekend and she was in good spirits and happy to see us. She introduced us to all the nurses and aids on her floor...
Then last night we went to see her and she was sobbing. when we asked what is wrong, she said "I couldnt find anybody", she meant us-family.. She has all our phone and cell numbers but she was crying so hard it just broke my heart! We calmed her down, but she started crying again when we were leaving which was horrible. I am very soft hearted myself so hated to see her like that!
We called later last night and she was fine- said she was confused and thought we had left her. We told her we would be back, she forgot I guess.
We called her today when we got home and she said she doesnt feel good and they think she might have another UTI!! We are now worried.. Why does she keep getting them??
Everytime she has one then her knee therapy suffers cause she is so sick..
I am asking for more prayers with us to help her get past this hard time...
Thanks so much,
Missy
