The Doctor Visit

27-Oct 12:20 PM Anna & Dr Porter
BP           142/82
Pulse        90
O2            97%
Temp        97.0
Respiration 32 (This was VERY high.-- Avg is 21. But, note the O2 level!)

Notes:
* Dr says the lungs and heart sound good -- about the same as before.  Lymph nodes are clear.    From the side glances that I was seeing from the doctor and the nurse I believe they were seeing Mom has declined (slowed down) much since his last visit.

* Gma mentioned to them that she wasn't seeing as well as she used to and the nurse pointed out that the left side of her face seems to be drooping and then she tuned me and said that it was common to have problems like that on the side that the tumor is on.

---------------
After they left, we had a small bowl of chili and Gma went to her bed to sleep.  I went outside to do some weed-eating and squirt the chestnuts off the metal shed.  I returned an hour later and Gma is still sleeping.  (I told her to sleep as long as she wanted to...)

Thank you for keeping us all updated, with all that's going on with grandma.
I would also like to thank you, for all that you do.
