Since I have been home a lot has happened.
First and foremost my brother Lynn is now in hospice.
I was probably home a week just starting to get settled in and what a job that is. Moving a whole camper (cabin) in my dining room, and finding room for everything.
I got a call saying Lynn was in Marshall hospital and he needed to be airlifted to Sioux Falls hospital.
On a Wednesday I took off for Minneota, a 5 hour drive from my house and the next morning my brother Mark who also lives in Minneota about a 1/2 a mile from Lynn and I took off for Sioux Falls which is a 2 hour drive from Minneota.
Lynn made it through the night, it all started with pneumonia and went South from there.
There are so many thing that are wrong with Lynn, he is almost 75 and I just can't see him making it. His congestive heart failure and R. A. His Selpy syndrome, whatever that is, he has a blood clot in his leg and all of a sudden he is falling apart.
He is Under 100#. Not eating and he has tubes behind his lungs draining fluid out.
I feel good about my trip to see him though I can't seem to get his wife to understand I just want the nurses to tell me what's going on and not take over his care. I must not have handled that well. Can you imagine me not being tactful. Right.
I am down to see the kids a second weekend in a row.
I saw them over Mothers Day and this weekend is Skye's Birthdat. She is 39 on Monday. Makes me feel old and you should see the shape she is in. She is perfect. 135# and tall. You should see her arm muscles. Incredible, and Alexis looks 25 and she is now 40. Aren't I blessed. Of course Mac is perfect. You should see the pretty scarf Hope picked out for me for Mother's Day and the wine I got from Mac and Laura from their trip to Napa Valley.
Today Skye and I are going to Mac's early so we can help pick up trash in French park for their church. Will be a ton of people there because it is a big church.
Skye and I and Mac and Ryan Hop and Karen and Randa and my friend Nancy are going out on Mac's pontoon today and have beer and hot dogs.
I am pumped, too much fun.
I feel real bad for Lynn and Mary Ann. Prayers appreciated.
