Mom's nephew Pat Robinson sent mom these flowers, and they are just beautiful. It perked her right up. The steroids not only helped her neck, but seemed to shrink her stomach quite a bit. She is feeling better, took herself off steroids and everything else and is much perkier, and even walking better. I always said she would outlive me, and she may. She seems to have new life. The last two weeks I was really worried about her.

Update:

After Lindsay left, I was really worried about mom, she loses her equilibrium and sometimes has a problem thinking. I was even worried that maybe she should get a walker for around the house so she doesn't fall. When we go out, I get her a shopping cart right away, and as long as she can hold on to something, she does ok. We aren't out very long any more. She's in bed most of the time.

Then she had friends, from the bank she worked at years ago, come and visit. She is so much better. Hopefully this will last.
