My mom is in the hospital. She got something that looked like a bite on her chest, and then she had little red dots all over her. She had a doctor's appointment, and they discovered in her blood work that her platelet count was dangerously low, and they told her to go to the hospital. They've been giving her transfusions, which have been helping. They're not sure why her count is so low. It might be that she got bitten by something nasty, like a brown recluse (she does lots of gardening, so that's plausible) or it could be the chemo pill that's she's on for her blood abnormalities (multiple myeloma). She sounds good; I just talked to her for an hour and a half. I wish that I was close enough to visit her, but she said that talking to me was entertaining. I hope that they figure out why this happened soon.

My dad's wife recently had a heart attack too.

This day is brought to you by the letter O, the letter Y, and comfort food (waffles!)

Oh! I'm just reading this. You mentioned something on FB and now I understand better. I hope all is going well with your mom now.
