Home!

Mom and Dad drove to Kingston today to pick Tina up from the hospital.  After getting her situated in the vehicle they drove further to pick up Emma.

They got back to Tina’s around 1:00 p.m. Tina was hungry when they got home, which is a good sign.  Mom made her potato soup and when I was chatting with Emma, Tina as enjoying an ice cream sandwich.

The bed use to be too high for Tina and now it is lowered and they are making it more comfortable for her with a wedge and pillows.  They got her settled in there and she was watching some old classics.

The nurse is coming tomorrow to check her vitals.  They put in a request to have homecare increased from 1.5 hours a day to 2 to 4 hours.  He has also asked that Respite be increased from 2 days to 4.  We are hoping that he gets this and more and that the positions that they already have get filled.

Tina is home, maybe not ready to party but hopefully she will continue to feel better.  

Drink, rest, stretch….repeat.

She’s STEELE Standing and STEELE has a smile.  Once again, we all take a deep breath.
