Exactly one year ago this weekend my mom went to the hospital because of a backache. She was admitted for several days and diagnosed with lymphoma.

This morning I wake up and my aunt informs me that my mom was admitted to the hospital again. This time with a headache, beet red forehead, and fever. It's a bacterial infection, she's on an IV drip, and will have to stay for several days. I don't know what it is. She's asleep now and I can't reach my dad to find out. But it's serious enough that she can't be treated at home. She has to stay there.

This time next year we are advising her to stay in her room for 3 days.



I love you, Mom.
