Wonderful Weekend
Mom has been home 7 days today. It was a week of adjustment, sleeping at home in her new room o the first level. Our old family room if anyone remembers from the olden days with the orange walls and the shag rug carpeting has changed over the years, and now serves well as mom's new bedroom, therapy room, etc. Dan, John Wolfe and Kris remodeled this bathroom to include a shower, which Lisa rigged up a shower curtain for. She has a hospital style bed to help with elevating her legs, her new lightweight wheel chair is easy to maneuver and mom is getting more confidence in taking steps with us supporting her on the side. She stepped over to the shower this morning with more strength than I have previously seen. WOW! It's great to see improvement.
Our helpful and caring Delfina has stepped up to the plate with all the daily tasks....showering, cooking for mom, and administering her meds. The nurse and physical therapist are in place. Sue and James. We also plan to employ Dorothy for assistance with showers and Polish language. We hope to make Delfina as comfortable as possible and make sure she is happy with us, as we don't want to lose her. she is upbeat, encouraging mom and truly caring. This is a mice change from all the commotion at Rest Haven.
Lisa is cooking dinner at her house tonight, and will come to get 'the girls' between 3 -4 o'clock. Danny is home from college this weekend and it is also Justin's birthday (yesterday).
If anyone plans to visit, please call Lisa or Karla in advance. We will try to ward off schedule conflicts with therapies, other visitors, etc. Thanks for all the support! Mom is pretty happy being home, but looking forward to getting aroumnd on her own. She is not patient with herself...but things are going well.

Hi All. Glad to hear that Mom is progressing now that she is back at home. Yes, patience is what is required. I'm leaving for Germany tomorrow and have not seen Elaine for two weeks. Please tell her I said hi and will give her a call with the hope to visit on our return in late October. Again, hope all continues to go well. Love, Diane (Premier)
