     Last Saturday, May 19, I wrote that my mother was passing away.  With the expertise, medical care, and prayers of others, my mother is alive today, breathing on her own, and resting comfortably.  We sang "Happy Birthday" with the nurses, aides, and attendants on her hospital unit twice! 
 
     Thank you to everyone at Florida Hospital South, especially the Emergency Room staff, the Intensive Care staff, and the continued care unit.
 
     Her grandson was able to visit and even took a few photos.  She was awake and alert as all of the happiness surrounded her.
 
     We don't expect any more miracles, nor have we asked for any more.  She will determine how long she is with us from now on.
 
     Thank you for your kind remarks, prayers, and comments, especially those from my G+ friends.  Our only wish was for her to recover from her pneumonia and live to her 100th birthday...and she did.
 
     She has the best of caring people surrounding her.  She is loved and I believe she knows it.
