The service for Mom (aka Grandma Tex) will be on Wednesday, Feb. 5 at Restland Funeral Home, on Greenville Ave in Dallas. The service will begin at 12 Noon. It will be preceded by a time of viewing from approximately 11:00 AM until shortly before the service, which will be closed casket. On Tuesday evening the family will greet visitors from 6 to 8 PM at the funeral home. Following the service, our church--Town North Presbyterian at 1776 Plano Rd in Richardson--will host a light lunch. Regrettably, the doctor has indicated that Susan will need to remain in hospital and not attend the service.
Susan continues to recuperate at Medical City. Last night she began running a fever, and the doctor ordered a high-powered antibiotic. Today she is fever free. In the meantime the nose tube that drained her stomach was "removed." In this case it was removed by "Dr. Mommy Dishman," i.e, by Susan herself. The medical authorities raised their eyebrows at this, but are letting her keep it out as long as she has no nausea. Currently, the doctor is waiting for bowel sounds to return before authorizing "clears" (i.e., clear liquids). Until then, it is ice chips only.
