Third Time's (Hopefully) a Charm

Mom is home, safe and sound as of yesterday afternoon. I was able to take the afternoon off work and help her get home via MetroWest, and after a couple bathroom visits, Dad's estimate was that she is stronger than ever before and more likely to be able to handle her new level of mobility. The new dilantin dosage must really be helping, but to be sure, a nurse will be by today to take levels and make sure that she's on track medication-wise. There are also some home care and therapy visits scheduled today and through the next several weeks, all of which should really help Mom handle her surroundings.

All I know is she is thrilled to be out of Maryville, and the morale boost alone has helped tremendously.

Once More...WITH FEELING!

Just got word that Mom will be getting out of Maryville tomorrow (10/17) at 2 PM. I will be leaving work at noon to go up and help with the transfer, and she should be well settled in by dinnertime if you'd like to stop by.

More Of The Same

Mom is still at Maryville but spirits are gradually improving, especially since her roommate, who's on a respirator, will be moving out in the next day or so. She fell a little recently and bumped her head so she has a small bandage on her right temple, but the physical therapy is doing her some good and Dad's seeing her just about every day at around lunchtime.

It's Beginning To And Back Again

Mom was released from St. Vincent's today around noon and is now at Maryville at the request of her doctor and the staff therapists. The prevailing opinion is that she needs more rehabilitation if she is going to stick it out for the long haul at home, but it's unclear how long she will be expected to stay at Maryville.

As soon as I have any more information, I will post it here.

EDIT: Mom is in room 215 (just one room over from where she was before). She'll be there at least a few days at Dr. Unger's request.
