Home!

Well, finally....Mama was discharged today. She had a great day! All of her levels were good. She was awake and in good spirits - laughing and talking! It was so good to see her like that after all these bad days!

She finally got back to the nursing home around 5pm. Her sweet roommate, Helen has missed her so much! As soon as she saw Mama she started crying (she's always laughing or crying). I asked her if it was a happy cry and she just nodded. Sweet. I said to Mama, "Miss Helen is glad to see you, Mama". Mama said, "I'd be glad to see her too if I knew who she was." Hilarious! I guess "out of sight out of mind", huh?

What is interesting to me is that my mama has called me Karen the whole time she's been in the hospital. 12 long days! She is usually more confused if she is in the hospital or out of her normal routine. Not only did she call me Karen, she knew I was her daughter and Caroline is her granddaughter. She also knew Steve was her son and she usually thinks he's her brother. Even through all the ups and downs, I take this as a gift. Tomorrow, I may go and be right back to being Adell (her sister), but this time that she has known me has been sweet.

God is so good. He's so good to me.
