Cory's mom was admitted to the hospital yesterday. She was diagnosed with diverticulitis about a week ago. Apparently her symptoms started a couple months ago, but the doctor diagnosed her with a UTI. She's been in such horrible pain, and I'm so glad she's finally getting some effective treatment. Cory's dad said he came back from being out somewhere yesterday, and Cory's mom was just crying and crying because the pain was so bad.

We're supposed to be celebrating Thanksgiving with Cory's parents. Cory's brother and family are supposed to be there, too. Mary might be out of the hospital on Monday. Cory's brother will get there Wednesday, and we were planning to come up Thursday. I have serious reservations about Cory's parents still hosting Thanksgiving when Mary is recovering. There will be six adults, five kids and two dogs. We already know that we'll be taking care of the food preparation now, but I'm wondering if it might not be better to just let Mary recover for a few days and then attempt a visit. Knowing her, though, she won't want anyone to miss out on celebrating Thanksgiving together.
