Hi!! So a little surprise.. mom's home! We're sitting in the living room, she's enjoying some kentucky fried chicken, already asking about ice cream.. and we're all sitting here in disbelief that she's actually here.. the ride home was uneventful, a little rain through rochester, but mom handled the ride just fine! We don't have the fireplace on.. um.. it's a little warm out and even with the air on high all day, it's not fireplace weather in the living room (thank god, because we were all nervous that it was going to be like a sweat lodge in here!)
though mom was happy to get out of there, she had a hard time saying goodbye to all the people who have spent the last 38 days taking care of her.. she handed out many flax bags, promised more bags and cookies, and hugged everyone. we can't say enough good about the staff there.. they did everything they could to make sure mom was happy (well, as happy as one could be under the circumstances!)
we didn't know until after noon that she was even coming home, so amy and I rushed around all afternoon getting the house in tip top shape.. along with paul, ed, lauren, aunt eva (thank god... she's a super cleaner) and adam. mom approves, so we're all happy.
mom is looking forward to not being bugged all night and being able to sleep in.. in fact, she hopes to sleep all day tomorrow.. right through her pills, right through dad's physical therapy, just not through her meals :)
I guess that's all for tonight.. everyone is talking so this very short blog entry has taken me like 45 minutes already... grrrrrr.
we'll update more tomorrow! thanks again for your prayers.
love.
