Take Two

We're rounding out the week in a positive way, but with a few changes.

First, some good news: Mom's visit with Dr. Unger went well and he said she looked just great. Not bad for a follow-up! He feels she is ready to be home but is deferring to the Maryville staff for their assessment.

Now, Monday is the day Mom goes in for audiology appointment and to be fitted for a new hearing aid (for those who don't know, hers mysteriously disappeared when she was staying at Maryville last), and we had it set up for her to come home that same day. But it turns out there is an odd regulation whereby a patient at Maryville can't be released on the same day as their final assessment with the physical therapist, and the final assessment can't happen until Monday (for reasons I'm not entirely understanding other than I guess scheduling).

SO

Mom will have her assessment at 9 on Monday, then go to the audiology appointment at 11:15. Then rather than be released, she'll stay overnight and be released on Tuesday.
