Update on Bratfink
TALES FROM THE BRAT FARM
I found an email from the Boy so here’s the update on Bratfink. She is very, very ill with the urinary tract infection. They are giving her a lot of antibiotics and fluids and monitoring how her kidneys are functioning by tracking input and output. She also has sleep apnea and is spending a lot of her time sleeping. They have the large oxygen mask on her because she is not getting enough oxygen in her system when she’s sleeping. They think she might have emphysema but won’t be able to tell for sure for a while.
Her blood sugar has also been very bad and they don’t know if she will be diagnosed with diabetes or not this time. You can’t tell until the body is working more correctly. Since it runs in the family, it’s a tough call. He says it’s very tough to talk to her with the mask on and it’s only removed for her to sip some water now and then so it’s useless to try to call her just yet. She will be in ICU a few more days at least and then will be moved into a regular room. The Boy is praying this all doesn’t mean she will be on oxygen when she goes home because she will just hate that.
She’s doing what she must but is very cranky about it all. Typical Bratfink…..LOL. The Boy hasn’t talked to her daughter yet and won’t until Bratfink is able to talk on the phone. No sense worrying her unnecessarily. I understand where he’s coming from so, please, if you know her phone number, don’t add to the Boy’s burdens by telling her yet. Hopefully, when she’s moved out of ICU, she won’t have the oxygen mask on her and then can give her daughter whatever reassurances she needs.
Love you all. Pray for her, please.

I swear I’m going to beat Bratfink with my cane…Please tell her to call me when she can…even she knew within a short amount of time when I had my heart attack. Okay, worry mode on and I promise not to call BratFinkJr…
I will when she is actually able to talk on the phone.. When she gets a bit better and can talk on the phone, they will notify Bratfink Jr. Thanks for not calling her. It should be (Lord willing) just a few more days. Love you.
Dang, I’m not getting my Xanga updates like I should…grumble. I just read through everything.
