Earlier today at the hospital the doctors did a procedure on my Mom and inserted a Plurex Catheter into her right lung. This is needed so she can come home. As far as I know, at the moment, I am to go to the hospital, at some point tomorrow, to get training from the medical staff and via educational video to learn how to drain the catheter at home. The catheter will hopefully relieve some/any fluid around the lung and make it easier and less painful for my Mom to breath. WOW. Also, earlier today the Hospice Center delivered a bed, oxygen, nebulizer, and various other supplies. So it appears we are all set. We are so excited and nervous (to be honest) to get her out of the hospital and home.
With the help of family and friends (Broden-MY SUPER BIG HELPER, Matt, Diana, and Greg) my Mom's house is decorated for Christmas which is her fovorite holiday (mine too). She is unaware at the moment and I think and hope this will be a happy and welcoming surprise.THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I'm also planning on having an early Christams for my Mom and Broden which I truly belive both will enjoy.
As my Uncle Fred said in a post earlier today, we belive that my Mom would enjoy some visitors once she's home and settled and that won't take long. It is NOT necessary, at the moment, to call ahead to visit, but if anyone would like to call and see if/when is a good time, feel free to call on my cell phone and I will do my best to answer or call back (732-236-0767). The only thing I ask, as of now, is that we are given just a short time to have our early Christmas which I will post when I know when it will be happening.
Going to try and get a little bit of sleep. Hope everyone is doing well. Thanks to all for your prayers, love, emails/messages and support.
KEEP PRAYING.....Love, hugs and kisses to everyone.
