I think UTIs in nursing home are common whether you're a man or a woman! I think Mom has just been lucky that she's avoided them for the most part at least!~ She was so good yesterday that it just totally makes my day when she's like that. Actually makes my 2 weeks since that's about all I manage to get there. Poor Dad was the saying of the day because he didn't make sense unless you count that he was consistent about the trip the whole time! He never stopped talking about it. I hope he had/has a good time because THAT would be awesome! lol Speaking of trips--lol---the two I'm about to partake of should be interesting for sure! Keeping Jeanie and Annie straight one week may put me to sleep for the 2nd~!lol Just kidding~ I love houses!~ I talked to Pam last night via text and told her that Mom and Dad were good. I know you read the blog Pat~!~lol She said she was going to try to go down tomorrow (Wed). I did tell her that Jeanie and I would be gone to Louisville the week of 2/7 and that maybe she could go down for sure that week. She said she would and to just remind her when it was closer, which I will. I figure since we'll go down to see Mom and Dad on 2/14 and then Jeanie and I will be back on 2/17 from Murray, we can stop in that day and that should cover that week. Maybe Pam will go again one day that week==I'll check with her. Good job on all the medicaid stuff and hopefully we'll know something soon on Mom, one way or another. I just want it behind us!! Love to all, Judy
