Sorry about the lack of new posts on mom. I guess life got crazy when she got home.
Mom is doing very well. She is on her food pump for 16 hours a day. She is off it 6-8 hours a day, depending on Dad's schedule. He does a fantastic job with the pump and her meds. She couldn't have a better caregiver than Dad.
She had cortizone shots this last week in her back to help with her arthritis. It has helped with most of the pain in her back.
She is able to do small stuff around the house and is finally getting more interested in life again. Just the look on her face let's me know she is feeling so much better. I think the constant nutrition from her feeding tube has done wonders. She also eats soft, small meals - soups, egg salad, french toast, usually without any problems.
I'm knocking on wood as I type this - she has been home from U of M for 3 1/2 weeks and has not visited a hospital except for x-rays on her abdomen to check the feeding tube. Go MOM!
Hopefully, she is well on a road to a solid recovery.
We appreciate all of the thoughts, prayers, cards, and support. I will continue to post possibly every couple of weeks.
