The doctor gave Mom some high powered antibiotics and sent her home for observation. Keep the prayers going that she starts perking up. The "regular" Mom is frenetic, bouncing off the walls! This "sick" Mom is unreal -- lifeless, lethargic, unresponsive. I do not want to deal with this "sick" version until the time comes that I absolutely have to do so!!
The doctor Mom sees just recently relocated from the Alcoa area to Knoxville, so that makes for easier visits for us. The ironic thing is that the doctor moved to a clinic where we formerly took Dad for treatment of his Alzheimer's. So we had not been in the facility since 2001 -- when the VA took over Dad's mental health treatment. Always interesting to experience those moments that cause the memories to flood over you.
