As our parents age

We got news yesterday that my husband's aunt is in assisted living. She is dealing with kidney issues, diabetes, dementia and is going blind. On Monday, my brother in law took his mother to rehab, and then there is the continuing issues of my mother--immobility, incontinence and dementia. As my husband's cousin wrote, there are good days and bad days. I spoke with both my mother and father, and at this moment, things are well. However this can change in the next hour. My coworker had her baby! A baby girl, 9 lbs, 8 ounces. I saw a picture of mom and baby--very sweet. In for a few hours of work this morning, and then to the TMJ specialist in the afternoon. He has relocated so now we have to drive to the hospital. I discovered that I had requested two copies of the same book at the library and checked them out without noticing. Am about due for another library trip--am reading my last book by Gil McNeil.
