Homecoming
I am so ecstatic! My gram is coming home tomorrow!!! Yeah!!! After almost 6 weeks of craziness she is finally able to go home. I know that it is partly due to the fact that she was receiving actual care while at Birchwood. If she had received adequate care at Loretto she would have been home a few weeks ago.
She is extremely happy. Her birthday is Saturday and when we asked her what she wanted she said,"All I want is to go home." Well gram...you're getting your birthday wish! We are going to have a birthday party for her on Sunday at my uncle's house. She will love to get out in the fresh air and be with her entire family.
We did visit her new gyno yesterday and he said that he is going to plan on doing the hysterectomy in 3 months. The D&C will probably only work for a short time but he wanted to take the safe route and not do the hysterectomy until she was much healthier. She isn't looking forward to having surgery but it will be the best thing for her in the long run.
She is going to have PT and OT come to the house for her for a while. She is walking a little bit with a walker but she needs and wants to walk by herself. She also doesn't have all of her strength back yet. I am going to be with her through the day while Edward is at work. We don't want to leave her alone right now. She is going to have aides coming in but who knows what they will be like.
Thank you to everyone that prayed for her recovery. It has been a long and sometimes difficult road but I think we have come to the end of it with some good results. Now just pray that she recovers quickly at home so that we can get back to the way things were before all of this happened.Labels: family
