Mom's Medical Update...!

I know we normally have Western Wednesday today, but I wanted to fill you in on what's been going on.

After being in the hospital for several days being treated for bronchitis and pneumonia, they also found some E Coli in her lungs. Where that came from, who knows? Anyway, yesterday they felt she was well enough to be discharged, but suggested a rehab center(nursing home) instead of home. They felt she wasn't strong enough to be at home without constant care at this time. I have to agree, because her legs just couldn't support her even using the walker.

3 weeks will be covered by Medicare and maybe by that time she will be a lot stronger. At least we hope so. At least we have her out of the hospital where she isn't exposed to Lord knows what. Besides, folks are waiting for the beds. The hospital is full and getting worse every day. Almost like the apocalypse, ya know?

Thanks to all of you for your kind words and thoughts and especially the prayers.

Coffee in the kitchen this morning. Rain and cooler temps are back.

    Hopefully she'll be out of the rehab center soon. Hospitals are notorious for getting hit with more germs. Plus she will get a lot more attention! Prayers and hugs for a speedy recovery!

    Daughter and I are thinking of you and sending healing prayers for Nanny. Hospitals are notorious for making people sick(er).Expect a package soon.

    It's been a long rough week, Bubba. Now is the time for you to get some much needed rest, and Mama to get stronger (out of the dungeon)with some real rehab and exercise. See you again in a few days.
    Big hugs and much love ~

    Thank you for the update. At least rehab will help her with therapy and hopefully get her legs working better. Rehab really isn't a nursing home my Freind it is just that a rehab. I know you need the rest too. I will continue to keep you all in my deepest thoughts and prayers. I think you know how to reach me.

    I'm thinking she is in a much better place.
    Thanks so much for the visit today!


    Hey Sis...
    I'm glad to finally get her in. Crazy week, that's for sure. Now to top it off...I'm getting sick again. When it rains, it pours.
    Thanks, sis, for coming over today!

    Make sure that she doesn't give up and keeps trying to move those legs. Just laying in bed will make matters worse. Hope for the best for her, for sure.
