Mom's in the hospital

My Mom went into the hospital yesterday. She has an infection in her right arm and is in a lot of pain. They have started antibiotics but no improvement yet. She says lots of people come and go, poke and prod and then just say the same thing over and over...."we think it's an infection and will treat it with antibiotics". We are waiting for blood work to come back which may shed some light on the problem.
She is supposed to come and see me next week as my brother was going to pick her up on Monday and they were driving out here. She is convinced she will be better and has told me to tell my brother not to leave without her.
I tend to handle things like this with humor and when I talk to her, I just try to make her laugh. Mom is my deepest anchor in life and she just seems to help me make sense of this world so inside I'm a little scared.
I know it will clear up and I'll see her on Tuesday. I'm getting her room ready and filling my day with lots of hope and love for her. Maybe if you have time today, you can hope for her too.
