Another diagnosis

I haven't visited Mom yet today, but Linda texted me this morning saying Mom has a new diagnosis of Pulmonary Embolism.  This seems more in line with what she is and has been experiencing.

I will be visiting her in a couple of hours......

So, my visit with mom was good.  She seemed in decent spirits - was sitting up when I got there and was able to talk so much better than yesterday.  They are giving her oxygen so that may be helping her a lot.   I had been wondering why they weren't giving her oxygen so it was good to see that they are finally doing that.  She still is quite tired but I'm sure she's not getting good rest in the hospital.  She is not allowed to walk around at least for today because of the fear of maybe another blood clot being let loose.

Linda was there when I arrived and she left a little while later to go pick Jacob up from Killeen.  The rest of the time, Mom and I looked at Zell on the computer, I read her a story about mothers and I recorded a little bit of her talking about Christmases in Austria and England.  On the TV in her room, there are loops for relaxation videos which show beautiful scenes with calming music.  She really enjoys having those on and looking periodically at the beautiful scenes on the TV.  Kathy came later to take over for me and then I went home.  Guillermo himself isn't feeling well either.  We both got our flu shots yesterday and while we both have sore arms, it looks like Guillermo got a little sick from his shot.  Nothing that a little Zyrtec doesn't fix!  He's done a lot of resting today and taking it easy and seems to feel a little bit better this evening.

In case you are interested, below is the link to Zell am See, Austria that I keep open on my computer all day long and which Mom loves looking at every day.  The lake you will see on the web cam is approximately 7 miles away from the town of Fusch that Mom and her family lived in.  Fusch is further into the mountains.  On the two little green hills in the foreground of the webcam, sometimes there are cows on those hills so we love looking to see if the cows are out.  Those little hills have been covered in snow three times so far this year, but the snow usually melts off in two days or so.  Link to Zell am See web cam
