Update on Mama Blues

Saturday January 19, 2008

Things are looking up. Mom reached her 85th Birthday on Jan 1, 2008. She is in relatively good health but more importantly she is happy. We had some hard decisions to make. No car, no home -- the house is up for sale; and she has a new address. Mom is now living in an assisted-living facility in my hometown Rocky Mount, North Carolina. She reads with the help of a magnifying lens and glasses. She works word search and Suduko daily. She has quite a reputation as an agile and sly bingo player, ladies lock up your quarters mom is on a winning streak. She loves to hear from friends and keeps up with the news.

It saddened me to no longer have a home to go to in Rocky Mount but considering the circumstances this was the best move for everyone concerned, especially Mom. I am looking forward to spring when I will have some time to spend down east with Mom and our family and friends.

for now,

As many of you know my mother, Mrs. Rosalie Beattie (aka Mama Blues ) had heart surgery on August 21, in Raleigh at the Wake Medical Center. Although the surgery wasn't as successful as we had hoped, it did improve her functioning and after a week of complications with her kidneys she now is pretty stable and is ready for Rehab. On Friday she was moved to Durham, NC where she will remain in a skilled care facility that will supervise her recovery and rehabilitation. I am praying that she will be able to stand and walk on her own again real soon. Thank you all for your prayers.
