The Monday of All Monday's

 This day started for me in the wee hours of the morning. Once we saw the ambulance leave we tried to go back to bed but just couldn't sleep. When the coffee maker went off at 5:00 am we gave up trying.  Joan sent us the update at 6:00 am (the first post on mom). I took the golf cart over to Rhonda's then met Diane at mom's. Molly was taken out and followed us to the dumpster but was confused as to where mom was. We walked to Joan's, checked to make sure her kids were still sleeping then back before putting Molly back in the house. I went straight up to the barn, brought Jury and her colt in a stall then went into the paddock, haltered Soul's filly and brought her into the stall quickly removing Jury. Jury was loaded into the trailer and hauled out to Middle Grove. I drove back to the far area, Jury called and the herd came galloping up so Lola was haltered and loaded up. The phone was used for a few pictures of the foals out there for their owners. Below is Onyx, Lily's filly by Valiant.

I took a few other pictures if you would like to see them click HERE. Lola was taken straight over to the cabin field to be with Oksana and Dancer. I didn't want her getting re-attached to her colt who is at my place.  The vet clinic was called to schedule a coggins test for Lola so she can leave for her new home and 2 ultrasounds, one for Oksana and one for Whisky for Tuesday Sept 28th. My next job was to clean up the cotton candy machine and load that into the car. I stopped at the Peoria post office to pick up the Berean mail then drove to Skylines to drop off the cotton candy machine for Matt Feucht. From there I headed up to the hospital. Beth had taken Joan's place earlier. Mom was sleeping a lot but woke up and smiled for the camera.
Her next CT Scan was scheduled at 2:00 pm but they didn't arrive to take her there until closer to 2:30 pm. Diane had arrived by that time so I just stayed until mom got back then headed home to take care of the weanlings in the stall. They are eating and drinking well so were given fresh water and more hay before coming back to the house.  I'm heading to bed early as I have to take care of the weanlings early, drop off the Berean mail and still try to be at the hospital to relieve Joan. Karin is there from 8:00 pm to 11:00 pm and Joan takes over at 11:00 pm. I'll try to get there before 5:00 am. Aunt Jinny is flying in tomorrow morning with her plane arriving around 9:00 am. Diane will pick her up and bring her straight to the hospital. The doctors came in and gave the report of the second CT Scan, (the second post on mom) The next update came at 5:30 from Diane. The nurse came in and said she can now have pureed foods so that means they are not planning on doing surgery.  They will do another CT Scan in the morning. She is very tired and it is an effort to talk or open her eyes.

So now we wait.
