From The Past: July 24, 2007

Mom was still sore today from her new catheter, but she came home anyway! YEA!!! We went over tonight to flush her lines, get her into some comfortable pajamas, and just talk. I love it that she is home.

Maybe tomorrow we can get her on the deck to see her sunflowers:

It felt so funny to be able to just walk out of there with her today. She was admitted on June 26th, so she was only a few days shy of a month’s stay. Since she could only walk the halls, and she only did that twice, it was almost like she was a prisoner. Granted the nurses and techs were great and she received loads of attention, still, it was like prison. I’m sure anyone who has been in this situation can relate.

She has an appointment to see her doctor on Monday. Until then, we will take it day by day flushing her lines, draining the Denver Catheter, giving her meds, and taking her temperature.

I look forward to spending more time with her.
