Home!

Mom was discharged from McLeod hospital yesterday!

After getting home, Josh and Dad did more projects around the house. They cleaned out the garage so that Mom's car can be parked inside. I think that the neurosurgeon said she is not supposed to drive for up to six months. Mom was very excited that the guys got all of the garage taken care of. Josh being at home has helped Mom and Dad so much.

I talked with Mom last night, and while Josh and Dad were cleaning and running errands, she was watching Marlie & Me with Elisabeth. Mom was oriented and talked with me about school and Easter. She did, however, keep flipping into a southern accent, which seems to be one of her new things. She likes imitating the nurses and her friends she has been around since being in the hospital.

This morning, I talked with Mom, and she was disoriented. Last night, she slept for two hours and then was up to say good-bye to Josh, slept a little bit more, and then was up again. She also refuses to sleep in her bed and is sleeping on the reclining couch in the living room.

Josh (and Bella, his dog) left this morning at 4:00am to drive back home to D.C. Dad talked with him and said that he made it home safely.

Elisabeth stayed home from school today, and thankfully Patty came over to help Mom because Dad had to go into work today.

Please continue to pray for healing for Mom's brain and body and that the confusion will stop completely. Also please pray for Dad because he is not getting a lot of sleep and has so much to do, taking care of Mom, the family, and now going back to work as well.

Thank you so much for your continued prayers. We really appreciate how everyone is praying for our family.
