Great news! I almost immediately received a response from Sylvia Gray, so it looks like I have her email address logged correctly. Sylvia said: I am receiving your emails. I don’t have anything significant to report at this time. I did receive an email from [my sister] which I will try to address today. I […]

Possible Improvement?

I just received a text message from my sister. She said: I talked to Mom a little this morning. She was actually a little responsive and seemed to understand when I said things to her. She said “I love you” and even said “see ya” when I said it.

An Email to Sylvia

My sister emailed Sylvia Gray at Woodland Terrace in response to my message from last night. I’m including here both the content of the message sent from my sister to Sylvia and also a copy of the letter that was sent to my mother.

A Visit to Woodland Terrace

My brother-in-law just called to tell me that he had just left Woodland Terrace. He said that he talked to Sylvia Gray and that he was able to spend some time with mom. He said that Woodland Terrace was definitely much nicer in general than Coastal Rehab, where she had been from May 9th to […]

Best Brother-in-Law Ever

When I talked to Sylvia Gray earlier today, she asked if there was any way I could provide some clothes for my mom. Coincidentally a few minutes later I received a text message from my sister asking me if our family friend could contact my in-laws about getting some of mom’s clothes to her at […]

Email received from my sister: Hey, David. I talked to Misty last week at Chamberlin Edmonds. She said we wait. I don’t have a number directly to anyone with Medicaid. […] I mailed in everything I was told to mail, and now they are reviewing it. It is not easy to get approved for Social […]

Nothing Is Surprising
May 30th, 2012 @ 11:38 pm

My sister sent me this email in response to the news about the possibly unsterilized endoscope: No, David, I had not heard about the endoscope. I don’t even know what to say about that. At this point, I don’t think I would be surprised if they told us that a moose ran into Mom’s room […]

No Bed Holds?

I just received this email from my sister: Hi, David. So, I talked to Jessica at Coastal. Their beds are full, and I will need to find yet another facility that will be able to meet Mom’s needs, whatever they may be by the time she is able to leave AND that will also take […]
