Updates on mom and dad

I'm taking some of what Tamie wrote in her blog to post here for everyone to read. 

Tamie takes Mom to her radiation appointments everyday since I have to work, and Monday morning was no different except... the radiation people called and told her not to come because their computers were down. There was only one problem, they were only a mile away from the radiation place by the time they called. So they decided show up and wait to see if the computers started working. They hung around for over an hour and nope they couldn't fix the computers. They ended up canceling Monday's treatment and adding another day on the end.

Poor dad has had one problem after another with getting his prescriptions filled.  Last Friday, he goes to the doctor, they prescribe a new medication and tell him they will call it in.  Tamie takes dad to the pharmacy, and there is no prescription ready.  OK, no problem, they go back the next day, still no prescription.  This is not the first time he has had trouble getting his prescriptions, but this time Tamie called the doctor's office and made sure they called it in before she went back to the pharmacy.  I think dad has something to do with the problem getting his prescriptions, since he hates to take prescriptions anyway. :-)

Last Friday when Tamie took Mom to her radiation appointment, Tamie asked the doctor to check mom out because I had mentioned that mom sounded like she was wheezing when she breathed. As it turned out, he thinks that she has bronchitis and gave her a prescription for antibiotics. The doctor is hoping that he caught the infection early before it turns into pneumonia. Mom seems to be doing much better.
