Mom's Home

We left the hospital this afternoon around 3 PM, arms full of my mom's belongs, instructions and prescriptions. She was given an anti-anxiety/sedative thing because of nerves regarding having the PICC line (the semi-permanent IV line) put in. She actually got very loopy by the time I saw her and it pretty much knocked her out.

She has been sleeping since we got home. Dad just got her up to use the bathroom and take a round of pills, and she headed back to sleep.

The home care nurse is supposed to come at some point tomorrow to do the first round of home antibiotics and do some "patient/caregiver education." Jax and I will head home either tomorrow after that or Monday morning.

I did finally got to meet her third doc today - Dr. Jacobs. She actually needs to continue to see all three for some time. They all continue to say that she should fully recover in a few weeks, but that it is truly a miracle she is alive. God must know that we all still need her around...

On the other fronts baby Cooper, Matt and Stacy got to come home on schedule and are settling in. Matt reports he is a very good baby and only cries when hungry or when he is getting his diaper changed.

John and I have been exchanging voice mails. He did report his dad is now home too, but gave no other details. I hope to give his sister a call tomorrow.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Love to all.
