Irma update and the weekend....

Thanks for those who have given kind words and prayers for Irma. I am still a little tired and would like to thank Nilda, Mr. S, Ana, The Garcias, Carlely, church friends, the O'Neill's for helping my mom, sis and me with support, food, a smile, etc.

Irma is back to a regular a condition (as she was before Thursday). She is still in a hospital room because the doctor can not see her until Saturday morning. Hopefully she will be discharged, since there really isn't any real treatment for her condition. We, as a family, have decided to sign the DNR (Do Not Resuscitate Order) if this episode should occur again.

"Vitas" is a Hospice type service organization (they bill Medicare/Medicaid/Private Insurance). They have offered some assistance if she qualifies. We have heard that many times in the last 4 years.....let's see how it goes. I'm hopeful.

Today, I have a Youth Commission meeting at the Cathedral in downtown Miami and I have to give my report about the Happening #23 event last weekend and lead a Requiem service for the father of our Youth Commission President who passed away this week. (The President is 16 and will be 17 in November.)

After the meeting I will be with Mr. S. It looks like a laundry day and then a pleasant evening with The Mrs. Astor and some cocktails at Twist with the All American Boy Bartender, Tommy. That's it for right now.

Again, thank yous to all.....Enjoy the weekend.
