[Janet]

Today Mom called and told me they were releasing her and to come get her. She is at her house, but with people coming in to help. We are having a nurse, physical therapist, and home health aide come to help her. I got her home and settled, meds are all set up for two weeks and her dialysis fluid is put in place and ready for use.

My wonderful sister-in-law shampooed Mom's carpet after the mess she made the day we took her to the hospital. Mom had NEVER had her carpet cleaned and it's probably at least 25 years old, probably older. She almost started crying because it looked like new...so bright and so pretty.

This same SIL will be taking Mom to two Dr. appts. tomorrow back in Lafayette again. One is her heart Dr. and the other is her G.I. Dr. Then I'll do the ones on the 21st, 24th and 27th. Then she should be all caught up with follow up visits.

She does seem pretty good, but I still don't like the idea of her being home alone. The nurse will come on Wednesday since she'll be at Dr. appt. tomorrow. Not sure when the other two will come. We are also having Meals On Wheels deliver meals to Mom for her noon meal. That way we know she is getting a good healthy hot meal every single day.

She still has that infection in her colon, but has this med she is suppose to take and it is obviously working. Bowels are getting more back to normal...still will take time and the pain and burning of the hemorroids is gone for now.

I told her that if for some reason she didn't feel right, wobbly, bowels..anything...she is to call right away so we can get it taken care of before she lets it get out of hand.
