There's no place like home

Bonnie's made it home! She took her first shower tonight since January. She was thrilled about that. She wants everyone to know she's still on antibiotics and would rather not have many visitors yet. There is a chance of giving and getting germs still and for now we need to keep everyone healthy. Feel free to call and make sure she is up for a visit before heading over to see her. These last two weeks have been miraculous. Thanks everyone!

Let's try this again

So around 2 o'clock we found out Bonnie needs a special KCI bed for the bed sore. After finding one we also found out it takes 2-3 weeks to get it approved through Medicare. What to do now? Dad and the home health nurse, Tiffany, found another option but mom can't be released until it's delivered to the house. Hopefully that will happen Wednesday morning. As soon as it's delivered my dad can bring her home. A little disappointed, Mom sounded ok with one more night in the hospital. She's doing really great. Seems to have more energy than before the set back in March.

Here's to my momma! Prize fighter! First thing she wants to do is make soup, but that's after she has a pkg of peeps. She's upset she missed them. They are her favorite. If you see any buy her a pkg or two :)

Going home hopefully

Waiting to see if mom gets released today. She's feeling well and wants to be home. Keep you posted.

Can't believe how well she's doing

So Thursday's news was unbelievable. Mom ate food and moved to the regular floor. She's doing so well. Hasn't been on oxygen since Wednesday. Her bed sore is healing nice. Over all it's a miracle in progress over this last week. When I saw her today she moved around well with a walker. The prayers have made such a difference. Thanks everyone. Bonnie is hoping to come home this week! Not sure if she'll be required to go to a care facility or not yet. I think she will have to go to a care place for at least a week. Once at home she's asked that she be given a few weeks to rest without visitors. Think she's looking forward to relaxing and sleeping. Because as they say in the hospital- you don't come here to rest, you come here to get better Don't ask. It makes no sense.

Happy momma

Today the nurses removed Bonnie's catheter and oxygen. She's very excited. Still she's not able to eat but is hopeful that it will be soon. She's still in icu ($@3weeks?)mom wanted to be home for Easter but that's probably not going happen. We just want her to get out of icu so the kids can come see her. The nurses think she'll have to go to a care center again but my dad doesnt want her to go back to Avalon. She's lost so much weight they wouldn't recognize her. Today was a great day she says.

I'm back

Sorry for the delay in news. Bonnie's breathing tube came out a few days ago and that made her very happy. Her surgery site is healing well and she's been able to walk around a few times every day. The Dr on duty today said he thinks she'll get out of icu soon which means the grand kids can come visit her. Great news for my friends and neighbors who have been doing double time watching my kids for me. Mom seemed so much better today than when I last saw her Tuesday. They were even talking about starting food soon. She's determined to get better and wants to come home before Easter. Think she can. She is starting to get bored. That's a good sign. Thanks for all the help and many many prayers. This has turned around completely! Looking forward to having my mommy back especially since the new mall is open. We joked with the dr last week that we'd had a busy day at the city creek mall and then the cheese cake factory for lunch. Of course we were only dreaming of being out of the hospital that day. It might be possible in the next month!
