Mom was admitted to the hospital late Monday evening with a UTI and the beginnings of sepsis. She is responding well to treatment and we expect her to come home today.

When I arrived at the hospital yesterday morning to help her with her breakfast, she was dozing. I woke her up, sat her up, and got her bed table set up so she could eat.

When it was all ready, she smiled up at me and then looked a little surprised.

“Are you Kay?”

“I am!”

“What are you doing here?”

“I’m here because you’re here.”

“Well, I’ve been here all day.”

“I know.”

“You always know where I am.”

“Yes, I do.”
