Mom's Home, Too

Angela has continued regaining her health, slowly and with a bump or two. Her doctor told her the hardest part is the part just before you're well, when you want to resume your regular activities but aren't quite ready. She's finding this to be true.

Last Thursday she developed a fever and was started on antibiotics again. An x-ray Friday confirmed pneumonia, but we didn't hear that result until Monday, and by then she was feeling good again. Apparently the antibiotic was the right one and she got it early enough to head off anything really bad.

I have returned to my home, leaving her in the capable hands of her caregivers. She is planning to go today back to the day program she was attending and discuss returning. I think the tentative plan is for her to go back in a couple of weeks, but they have to do some paperwork and that kind of stuff, and she still has to get a little stronger.

We have appreciated all the prayers and kind words from everyone. God has truly blessed us with a loving family of friends. We thank Him for His healing and look forward to what He must have in store for Angela.

As of now, I don't intend any further posting here since I believe this blog has accomplished its purpose. Thank you all for caring.
