Finally.

After weeks of headache, nausea, extreme pain, Nora had a check up with Dr. Yannucci, her oncologist. When Nora arrived in a wheelchair (she had a spinal tip yesterday morning at Hilton Head Hospital) and had a tough time just sitting up, Dr. Yannucci immediately took action. She admitted Nora to St. Joseph Candler hospital in Savannah yesterday afternoon for observation, more tests and pain management. Daughter Sarah took the day off and was an immense help to us.

As I write this I am awaiting a call from Dr. Yannucci’s office to bring me up to speed. Spent the night on The Ridge rather than standing around and getting in the way of the nurses. (I rather quickly – for me – picked up on the “getting in the way” business when the nurses said “excuse me” about a dozen times.)

It was a long Labor Day weekend. Son Aaron came up from Orlando and was a big help. Sarah and Jeremy also came out to The Ridge to help, too. We were, therefore, officially a kennel. To me, anything over three dogs (we had four) makes your place a kennel. All four, of course, spent a good deal of time napping (at the same time) in Nora’s bedroom.

It’s good Nora is in the hospital. They can do something about the pain. And, of course, it’s not good.

I’ll keep you posted. You keep praying and thinking of Nora.
