We had a day pass today so we could have a practice run. The social workers wanted us to go to a post acute care facility and I think this was their attempt to scare us so we would give up and send her to a post acute facility.
We were not thrilled with that idea and wanted to get the neurologist's opinion. Once Dr. Chen saw Mom, he told us that she should do outpatient therapy and stay with Sonya and I.
We know the coming months will be difficult. Mom needs 24 hour supervision and while I can see her memory improving, she still asks questions over and over again.
Today has been great. Mom is in good spirits because she is out of the hospital. She wanted Coconut Shrimp for lunch, so we went to Outback and had a wonderful meal. She is currently stretching out her left arm and doing some exercises on the couch.
Sonya is going to be trained be the therapists tomorrow. Tuesday Mom will be moving in with us. Once we get settled, we would like her to spend weekends in Orange.
Just keeping you in the loop.

God bless-hoping everything goes smoothly for you all.
ReplyDeleteSteven- Life has been "running me" lately and I'm sorry I have not checked in recently. The video of your Mom was simply amazing and inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI know God is working in her life, but He also uses those who trust Him- and in this case- it's you.
You are a fantastic example of the raw power of prayer and faith. Your love for your Mom is exemplary.
Take care and keep up the great work.
