MOM IS HOME!!!!

We checked Mom out of the hospital this afternoon around 3:30 PM. She is now resting comfortably in her own bed at home under the care of Susan and Dad. Dad, too, is now comfortably at home in his chair watching TV.
Mom is doing great---she beams when she tells everyone that the therapist said she was the best patient she had ever had for someone her age....and she told Mom she meant it as the highest compliment!!!!!
Mom had the supper of her request---a steakburger from Steak and Shake and a cup of hot tea. She did quite well on her first trip out of bed to the bathroom...I told her she'd be able to show off her expert hopping to her youngest great grandchildren when she sees them.
I have no doubt that she will recover far faster at home than at a rehab center....I have to confess I really put up a fuss against her going there!! In my heart, I just didn't think it was the best for her or dad, although I did check to find out which one was the best in case the doctor convinced me that it was the best for her (by the way it was Sunset).
Susan will take care of her during the night and mornings (I still have work to do at school--I'm the principal for the next few days....with school out you wouldn't think there would be much to do but I'll be quite busy with orders, phone calls, and cleaning my room). I'll be the afternoon and evening nurse so that Susan can spend time with Jessica (they're going to do some projects on her house while she is here).
Thanks to all for caring and checking on her. Don't forget to blog..she's looking forward to seeing Laurie's flood pictures that Dad told her about and reading about Julie's busy life.
We'll try and give you a daily update on her progress.




Our love to all.
