A few weeks ago Mom got attacked by a spider in her bed. She got five bites but they all healed OK. The bats like to hang out in her room too but Dad stapled some screens on the windows so they don't come around much any more.

Dad says Mom has been a real trooper through it all but yesterday we think she met her match.
