Home Again, Home Again
Yesterday was my mom’s last day of therapy as she was due for discharge today. We talked with one of the therapists about how far my mom has come and all got teary eyed. To think that when she arrived, she couldn’t even stand by herself and now she was cruising down the hallways with […]
Experience Speaks Volumes
Today a physical therapist came to the house and asked my mom tons of questions to get her Home Health Care set up. The whole thing was a little disconcerting to my dad – first of all, there were so many unnecessary questions that were asked. The therapist explained that is a result of Medicare […]
Back Home-Again
After another 3 day hospital stay, my mom came back home today. She has been through so much, it amazes me how she keeps on going. This recent stay was the result of stroke-like symptoms, though not as bad as the last one. After many tests, the doctors feel she did not have another new […]
And She’s Home
When my dad and I got to the hospital this morning, we were greeted by the heart surgeon walking down the hall. He told us again how sorry he was that my mom was going through such trauma and that this complication happens very rarely. He said that my mom was up this morning and […]
Back At Home
After 6 weeks, it finally happened – we brought my sister to her house yesterday. Since she broke her leg and had surgery, she has been unable to put any weight on it all. So, she has been staying with my parents and I. Their house is a little easier to get around and such. […]
Made it Through
I woke up early this morning with the makings of a migraine. Today I was to take my sister to an important doctor appointment about an hour and a half away. She also needed to deliver some things to her son who is starting a new job. I knew if we did not get out there, […]
Improvement in Craziness
Yesterday afternoon I made it back to my home state safe and sound after a wonderful trip to spend time with family and meet my new grand daughter. My sister picked me up at the airport and I called my mom from her house. The adventures there just seem to go on and on. My […]
Needed to be in Church
This morning at church before the Mass started, I noticed a man with a long grayish ponytail come in and sit a few pews in front of us. He was wearing a black cut-off t-shirt with a motorcycle club on the back. When he arrived, he was greeted by some people who were already seated […]
Holy Communion Delivered
My dad had been struggling to make it to church, so when my mom’s friend comes over, she has been bringing Holy Communion. She brought Communion to people who are home bound and in the hospital, so she has permission to get the consecrated hosts from her church. She came over this morning too and […]
Tour of the House
A few weeks back, my son purchased his first home. It needed to have some work done before he moved his family in, so he worked hard on it along with others including my other son who will be staying with him for the summer. Within a few days they got everyone and everything moved […]
