May 29

For starters, Lisa did make it to the girls birthday party.  She stayed a couple of hours, enjoyed cake and ice cream even.  She seemed tired when she left, but was doing pretty good.  It was nice to see her in something other than pajamas for a change, although she said her pants were too tight.  They were a size S and looked to me like they might even be a bit big on her.  I think she is just not used to regular clothes.

Sunday she was sick much of the day.  Her blood pressure is just not cooperating.  When it hit 200/120 for the second time early in the morning Monday, they finally sent her back to the hospital.  Thankfully, after treating her for the day in the ER, they released her.

The nursing home, um, i mean 'rehab center, has really been depressing for her.  I can completely understand why!  They seem understaffed, Jake swears that some of the aides are hopped up on some kind of drugs and Lisa suspects the double amputee lady who rolls around in her wheelchair all day is stealing from the residents.  Yea, I wouldn't be too keen on being there.

Yesterday afternoon she was taken back to the hospital.  Her stomach problem has either returned, or she has something different and her blood pressure is back up again.  She has dialysis this morning, so maybe that will help a bit.  

Thanks for your prayers!
