Coming home

This morning Mom is coming home. We met with the doctor and decided there’s not much else they can do for her at the hospital and that she’d have a better chance of recovering mentally and physically at home. We do need to arrange for 24 hour care which in itself was a nightmare. Tom and I think we have it handled but we’ll go week to week as we don’t know how Mom will react. Money makes people funny and this situation is no different, even with our long time care taker James. Anyhow looks like I’m in for a daily drive to Denver for as long as I can see.

Robin fly’s in tomorrow for a day and then my cousin Christine and her Mom, Auntie Dee, (who is my Mom’s older sister) fly in Sunday. It’s all up to my Mom’s body now as to whether or not she’ll rally and get better. The doctor did tell us she won’t get back to where she was. Lori and I were talking last night and both of us said, neither of us saw this coming. So that’s it, we’ll know more today.

Ty was selected as a leader from his 8th grade camping trip and will now go next week with the 4th graders for a 3 day trip! The teachers select a few kids who show leadership qualities to go along and help. Jag is staying home today as he’s all stuffed up and sick. We think a lot of it is the smoke from all the fires. We made the mistake of sleeping with the windows open and both Lori and I feel sluggish and drugged.

So lots going on. No one is sure how my Mom will do but we all know she’ll be better off at home. Hopefully she’ll feel more comfortable and eat some good food and feel better once back in her own surroundings. Obviously Tom, Robin and I are having to deal with feelings we haven’t experienced before and no matter how you prepare for it, it’s still upsetting. Looks like Lori is going to postpone her trip to see her Mom for a week or two to be here to help. This was at Dixie’s suggestion which is not surprising as Dixie is one that has always put other people ahead of herself. Hard to believe she’s a democrat, ha! (just kidding)

I’d better get moving as it’s after 7 and I need to take Ty to school, shower, get dinner in the crock pot so we all have something to come home to tonight, and then head out to Denver. Take care, have a great day and God Bless.
