Home, Week 3

It's been a decent week. Mom had hydration every day, including the weekend, but her levels are balancing out quite nicely. She had today off of hydration, and we felt like we were forgetting something, we've gotten so used to going to the hospital for most of the afternoon, LOL. She has hydration tomorrow and Monday, but she gets the weekend off. These are the tests to see how well she does at home with keeping herself at good levels. Things look promising. =)

She did some physical therapy today, since we had already cancelled all the home sessions this week due to our not being home. She's getting back to where she was before this small setback. Her appetite is healthy, almost back to pre-hospital levels, which is wonderful to see.

Mom still loves it when she gets cards, and we read over every one together. All of your love and support is very much appreciated, by all of us. Mom perks up when the mail comes, and drops what she's doing to read her cards. It's really sweet to watch. She's also enjoying the phone calls, and her strength is getting better, to the point where having visitors isn't too taxing, as long as she doesn't have too many in too short of a time. You know how too much excitement can be exhausting. =)

That's all for now. We'll continue to keep you posted. Until next week (no news is good news), keep Mom in your prayers, and thank you.
