Day 9 in Minnesota

Aloha everyone. I hope all is well back home. As for us, it was a much better day here in Rochester, Minnesota. Mom was transferred to Charter House, a skilled nursing facility right next to the Mayo Clinic. She has a private room and is being monitored by an excellent nursing staff. Her hallucinations have stopped and her IV was removed. She is on a general diet and is beginning to do things on her own. She still has a catheter and a drain but otherwise she is doing real well. She still has to0 be watched so that she doesn't run away :) She likes the new environment but is still looking forward to coming home soon.

We were informed this morning that mom's departure date will not be on the 28th, as we had planned. She is having some drain problems and the doctors will have to watch this for at least another 10 days. Although this is inconvenient, we are going with the suggestions of these fabulous doctors and will make the necessary adjustments. We will keep all of you in the loop and make all information available through this blog.

I am on my way to Vegas for a few days. I will be back in Minnesota on Monday but will have to leave for Hawaii on the 28th. Gerald and I will leave and Uncle Ed and Dorothy will stay back. I will be on Oahu for my daughter's surgery on the 31st and will return to Minnesota as soon as she recovers and doesn't need me around. Uncle Ed and Dorothy will come home once I get back to Minnesota.

We are all hoping for a quick and full recovery for mom. We thank you for your prayers and we ask for your continued prayers. Mom truly appreciates all of you and will be home soon. Take care and God bless.
