Afternoon news

Not a lot is going on. I am in a holding pattern as far as going to Austin. I will watch both the storm and mother's condition from here until we know more about the storm. I have started preparing the house for a direct hit.

Russ got me all the information I need to get updates from the nurses. Gail and he went to the hospital this morning to see that she was being looked after properly.

George came and left a message. Grannie was sleeping at the time.

Grannie will appear to sleep but only have her eyes closed to rest them. if you come to visit her, it is a good idea (after asking the nurse) to say that you are there. She is getting a lot of rest. It is also a good idea not to converse with her very long. Just being there is a great thing for her.
