I did tell her she wasn't coming home until they found out why she lost all that. I have to go home and get a new change of clothes, I only came thinking I was here just over night and here it's a week. :))

also my back up is here which is a big plus.


I wish there was someone there who could keep an eye on you and make sure you're looking after yourself properly... take care Grant :)

Back-ups are good things to have. Good to know you have someone to tag-team with. Hope these tests provide useful answers and a way forward.

Message 1546421 - Posted: 23 Jul 2014, 18:11:38 UTC

I'm bringing my mother home on Friday, July 25th. She is making good progress with walking, and that will continue with Home Health visiting us, 5 days a week. She's basically healthy now, other than the weak legs, and yes that is a big thing, but she doesn't need to stay incarcerated in a hospital setting for that. The dementia symptoms in regards to short-term memory aren't really that bad when I steer her in the right direction with the right cues, and her own house, where she's been for 47 years, will immensely help with that.

I'm very excited, Julie. Anyone who has read this thread knows I was scared out of my mind in the beginning and I still have a lot of anxiety about the present and future, but things have progressed slowly and surely in the positive direction. I've even had people tell me they were surprised she pulled out of the pneumonia at her age, but she did. :~)

I think deep down you believed in a positive outcome:) It's important you keep up the good spirit, for her too, she feels that.

I hoped. :~) I write down basic things for her, like, "Everything is going to be ok", "Gordon will be here at 8 am", "I have your purse and wallet"... She likes to look at these notes.

That's so good you do that Gordon. She trusts you with those basic things and from what I've heard from you, I think you're her bearer.(don't know the word in English, I meant 'steunpilaar', it's an expression in Dutch)
