I got an email from Ferdy and asked her to post it here for all to see. For one reason or another, she can't make the machinery do what it's supposed to do, so she booted it back my way. Here's her note:
(I edited Ferdy's note to insure Bo's anonymity.)
"BMG asked me to send you an email to let you know what's going on with her parents. Her mother slipped out of her chair Tuesday night and couldn't get up. She tried to get BMG's dad to pick her up. Bo just happened to call at that time and found out what was going on. She called 911. They were at the emergency room until 11:00 that night.
The next day Bo took her mother to an ear, nose and throat doctor. Her mother had some fluid between her scull and her brain. Wednesday night the doctor drained the fluid off. She was in intensive care until yesterday. She is supposed to be released from the hospital today and then go to The Greenwood Village Nursing Home for several days for observation, physical therapy and rest. BMG was able to get a room so her dad can stay with her mother. She will be very busy for the next several days and doesn't think she'll have time to blog and didn't want you to be worried about her.
Please keep Bo and her parents in your prayers. Being an only child, she's got a lot to deal with right now."
Many of us have lost parents.
Many are now dealing with parents that are failing.
It's tough, even when you can share the burden with siblings. Doing it "only child" is a full-time job.
Bo, we are all sending "Good Vibrations" your way. Update us at your convenience, please.

Just to let you all know, both my mom and dad are in Greenwood Village Nursing Home. I was able to get my dad in today after MUCH running between the doctor and the Village to get the proper paperwork filled out. Right now I'm feeling like a rest home might be kind of nice for myself!
Mother was in Physical Therapy this morning with Mr. V. He was learning a new game. I talked with him for a while and he said that Bill was coming this week to see him but he does not know which day. He seems happy and looks pretty good.

Bless you and I hope that you get some much needed rest soon. Thank you for the update.
I'm thinking about you Bo. Please take care of the caretaker!! Get some rest. Vandy will show your Mom and Dad the ropes and they'll be in good hands.
GH & PT - Just woke up and read your kind notes. Thanks for your caring and friendship; even though you are miles away your support is so helpful. Thanks loads and bunches!
Love,
Bo
