Photo Friday: Any Day Now
Miss Fleck of the barn Katz Family is very, very, VERY pregnant. While there may be no such thing as a LITTLE pregnant, this kitty is a LOT pregnant. Her belly drags the ground. I'd have to say kittens are imminent.Mom Update
It’s been a while since I wrote anything about my mom. If you follow me on Facebook, you’ve probably noticed a number of posts recently about long nights in the ER with her. I appreciate the kind concerns and prayers from friends and family. But while I know they’re well intended, the “hope she gets well soon” sentiments cut like a finely honed blade. Mom isn’t going to get well. She has good days and bad. More and more of the latter. Today’s “good days” are about the same as the bad ones a couple months ago. She has vascular dementia. In addition to her mental slippage, her legs have grown weak and uncooperative, adding to her pre-existing balance issues. We plead with her to call for assistance to get out of bed. Unfortunately, she can’t remember that she’s had numerable falls lately, so she continues to try to get up and around on her own, resulting in more falls. And in more trips to the ER. She has dislocated her right hip twice now. She’s hit her head more times

Yes, Jemi. But not yet. So far this morning, she's still round. I keep asking her how many she has in there, but she's not talking.
