Time To Move On!

Mom is being released today to return to the skilled care unit at Heritage Pointe in Warren!  We are sure praising the Lord for His care of her this week.  Today has been a much better day than yesterday.  She did great in her morning therapy, even walking almost to the end of the hallway and back.  

The highlight of the morning?  She got to take a shower!  Oh that made such a difference in how she felt.  It is amazing what will lift your spirits after a week such as this.

She has also had 3 grandchildren and a great-grandson here to see her today and that is always a sure bet to make her smile from ear to ear. I feel so sorry for those who are in the hospital and don't have family to brighten their day.  Mom adores all of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and has sure spoiled them over the years!

Her care here at Lutheran Hospital has been exemplary.  Each nurse has really shown love and concern for her well-being and her Dr. has a great bedside manner.    I am thankful that we live in a country where we have access to modern hospitals that are staffed with people who are second to none.

We just can't thank everyone enough for their love and prayers for Mom this week.  I sat with her yesterday and read everyone's comments to her from Facebook and she was just overwhelmed.  She has touched so many people's lives over her 87 years, and it is wonderful to see others reaching out and touching her in such a powerful way at this time.  We are blessed :-)
