Good News and Good Eats - Day 89

My son Ryan came to visit last night and brought with him a belated birthday gift...the promise of time together and a selection of recipes from which to choose a birthday dinner prepared by him.  I chose Chicken with Prosciutto and Sage and a Frittata.  This morning Ryan and I set out on our day together.  We began with breakfast at Athena Cafe with Mike and then headed to the hospital to visit my mom.  Even though her blood pressure was low, her spirits were high.  Many of the more serious possibilities have been ruled out, but they still have no idea what is causing the infection.  After a nice visit with mom, Ryan and l did a little shopping at the mall and the grocery store.  Then headed home to relax.  I felt like a queen as Ryan did all the prep for my birthday meal.  He has turned into quite a good cook.  You can tell cooking for others is something that fuels his soul like baking fuels mine.  Dinner was delicious!  He couldn't have given me a better gift.

After dinner I got a voice mail from my mom with very good news.  The doctor had stopped by and was pleased with her progress.  If her vitals are good tomorrow evening after another night of the antibiotic drip, she will be allowed to go home.  Happy dance!

Many hugs,
Kathy
