holiday triage

[jay]

Mom's in the hospital... suspected cardiac, chest pains. She left a note that the kids found this morning when they got up. And the dog is vomiting and acting stranger than usual... kids are agitated. We're taking over Christmas dinner, coordinating with relatives and trying to prevent her from checking herself out against doctor's orders... while forstalling the kids and gifts as long as possible to buy time.

[Update 1pm: she saw a cardiologist, they imaged and ran tests, and don't think it is serious.... back home, now, although we're continuing to put together dinner and manage the house. Whew. She will see her doctor tomorrow. The dog is subdued, but at least he has stopped vomiting. ]

I hope your Mum has a rapid recovery. All sounds rather fraught - our thoughts are with you.

I am so glad that you are there to *do* the triage, but with all the challenges that your family is facing...yikes and owie.

(hugs) and prayers to you and everyone else.

(nods) it was a good thing that we were here to cover, this year.

Oh no, what an incredibly stressful morning. =/ I hope your mom is okay. And the dog.

Don't forget to take care of yourself too, okay? *hug*

They both appear to be better... thanks. I only had 3+ hours of sleep (to bed at 4am) so am running on caffeine and sugar right now.

(hug)

I think a nap is called for. =)

Eventually I got one... I had to go out and sleep in the rental car to find space, though. ;)

Hope your mom and the dog feel better, and everything turns out okay. Sorry to hear you've had such a stressful morning.

Thanks for the update!

I am glad that she is home. I can tell you're on a mission, and I know it will be a successfull one.

I was focussed and in mission-mode until after dinner and rituals were all completed... then crashed, this afternoon and evening.
