Update on my Mama and BYOC

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers on my blog yesterday about my mom. She is still in the hospital and unfortunately, they will be keeping her through the weekend as they have still not determined exactly what bacteria they are treating her for. She is currently on 3 antibiotics and one seems to be helping her as she is showing signs that the infection is getting smaller. She is a horrible patient though and just wants to go home. I can't blame her really but she has to listen to the doctor as she really doesnt have any other choice.

I will keep you posted on her progress/condition.

On to BYOC:

1. Seeing that it’s a patriotic holiday of sorts I thought of this one: Where were you on September 11th?

I was working for a Bank on Long Island and I was in with my Executive Vice President talking to one of our Investment Bankers who worked on the 104th floor of the WTC. We were talking when the first plane hit the North Tower and he said "I have to go...there is something going on next door". He didn't make it out that day. All they found was his wallet. Very sad...he was 38 years old and had two young children. He was one of too many who died that day. I left work soon after and went to both of my daughters schools and took them home. I didn't want them out of my sight.

2. What is your idea of fun? If given the chance to skip work/life for an entire day, what would you do? (assume you’d be by yourself) I would go shopping...I love to shop and very rarely find time to go by myself.

3. Suggestion from a follower. Some blog questions.

How many blogs do you follow? About 125
Do you read them all or just your faves? I read them all
Do you comment a little, a lot, on all? I try to comment on as many as I can if I have something of value to add, especially on those that comment on my blog.
Have you ever unfollowed someone because of something they said or you didn’t like their blog? Only 1 person. I just got to the point with this blogger that it wasn't helping me on my journey by reading her blog. She was eating around her band like crazy and asking for help but she obviously didn't want it.
Do you routinely unfollow and why
see above: I have only unfollowed the one blog and I have had one person unfollow me. I still follow the person who unfollowed me and it makes me crazy wondering why she unfollowed me :(


4. Repeat question. Pick one day and one healthy thing you’ll do for just that day next week. I can't narrow it down to one day but I will keep exercising

5. Repeat "Make someone a superstar" question. Whose blog or blog comment stuck with you this week and why?

I hope this antibiotic(s) get rid of the infection soon! I hated being in the hospital just for banding and that was outpatient! LOL

Great answers, as usual Jacquie. Have a great 4th of July weekend!

So sorry about your mom. I am so grateful we live at a time when medicine can save lives. Antibiotics for your mom, c-section for my daughter and grandson, bands for us...

Thank you for mentioning me! I will be thinking about your mom and sending positive thoughts to you and your family.

Thank you again!

What a shock to be speaking to some one who died in the Twin Towers only hours or even maybe only minutes before the second plane hit.

A truly tragic day.

I hope the antibx work soon for your mom-- my mother had diverticulitis and it was painful. I am sorry! I will be thinking about you... xo
