Mom's Challenge

Ricki and John left on Monday.  Ricki left early to get back to work and John after he finished with his negotiations on his new job.  He signed the contract!!!

Over the weekend we went to Kingfisher and toured Ray's new house that they will be moving into in about a week.  Ricki and John took us all (Noakes, Belcher's & mom) out to Mexican dinner on Saturday night. Sunday we went around to the Parade of Homes with Ray & Lacy while John & Ricki were looking for a new house. Sunday evening was their reception with the Board of Directors and it went very well. As they left the reception they gave John their job offer for him to review overnight.  No sleep for him that night!

Monday evening about 6:00, I got a call from Mom that she needed my help. She had stumped her foot on something and it had knocked her off balance and she fell backwards on her hips, back and head. She had fallen in the Dining Room and the staff had already called the ambulance & for me to meet her at Mercy. We were in the emergency room until 12:15.  They did a CT scan and Xrays. She had no fractures but the ER doc found a small dot on the head scan. He thought she should spend the night and have another CT scan in the morning to compare the spots.

Tuesday morning another scan was done and the spot had dissolved. She could go home.  I wasn't able to check her out until 6 pm on Tuesday.  Doctors don't do anything fast.

She was feeling fine with no constant pain but her muscles were sore from the shock of the fall. When she moved she was wincing.  She got better as the day went on.  Really glad that nothing was hurt in the head. She has had several bad falls and hit her head.  She must really have a hard head. 





















Glad your OK mom!
