UPDATE ON MY MOM

Things are clearer now with the situation. When I talked with her yesterday, she had just started taking these drugs and it just made her really tired and lackadaisical. I talked to her later that night and she apologized if she had scared me. I also talked to a friend who knows about these drugs, Xanax and Paxil. She's an RN and used to work for a pharmaceutical company. She was also on Xanax for a while. She calmed some of my fears and offered to talk to my mom if she wanted to. Then I talked to my sister today and she assured me that she would be driving up there to be with my mom and that my dad would be coming home earlier from work. He's also off all next week. My mom still can't get in to see a doctor until the 31st and hasn't seen a psychiatrist yet so that's still up in the air. She's also going to apply for short term disability at work which means she's basically retired since she was going to retire in a couple weeks anyway.

I'm pretty sure things are better at this point. Thanks for all who have said a prayer. Keep praying for her. These next two months of transition (moving, closing on the new house, etc.) are going to be really hard for her.

Blessings.
