On Wednesday, my mother was taken off her cruise ship and put into the hospital on Cabo. She’s bleeding internally again, with no known cause. No, this is not unusual. No one can figure out why she starts spontaneously bleeding. They’ve done bone marrow checks, blood disease checks, cancer checks, and at least 20 endocsopies, all to no avail. All they can do is treat the symptoms. So, in the ICU in Mexico, she had two blood transfusions. She’s still bleeding, but they flew her home today, with a travel nurse.

I’ll be going to the hospital here around midnight or so (they have to land, do customs, find their transportation, get to the hospital, get checked in, say goodbye to the nurse, and all the paperwork etc.) in order to pick my dad up, as his car is still at the harbor. Unfortunately, I have to take the kids with me, since Poe has to work. Tomorrow, I’ll probably take him out to the harbor to pick up his truck.

I just heard from dad, before their connecting flight left, that she was bleeding on the plane.

So – Combined with other things this week… It’s been rough.
