December 25

This morning my mother had a minor stroke.  She was taken to the ER and then sent to a regional hospital down in central Illinois that has better diagnostic facilities.  My brother David is with her, and they are waiting for MRIs at this point.  Rosemary seems to be doing okay, but testing needs to be done to see what changes have occurred in her brain.  Rick is doing better today but still in a fair amount of pain. This appears to be our medical intervention Christmas.  Again, thanks to all the hospital staff that are on duty on Christmas day....  Mary
