Home, Week 2

Mom has had a crazy week. Her nausea was bad this weekend, and she's been getting fluids via IV for a few days now. She hasn't thrown up since Monday, and her appetite is coming back, so I think this step back is over.

Finding a balance for her nutrients is going to be a huge challenge, because her system is so delicate right now, she can have too much or too little of one element or another from one day to the next. We're all doing good though, and it's a learning experience for the entire household.

Thank you all for your love and support and appreciation. We're really glad things are getting better, and we're glad that we've been able to be together through this whole thing. I'm glad I've been able to do this blog, to keep you informed, as well as a way for Mom to look back when she's up to it and see what she's been through. She asked if we'd taken pictures of her while she was in the hospital, and we all looked at her funny. We told her that we didn't think she'd want to see what she looked like, and that a written account may be enough for her to absorb. Just goes to show, Mom is full of surprises. =)
