Back to St. Anne's

Everyone was in to see Grandma this weekend. We all got together to celebrate graduation with Kate and Brendan. Mom wished she could be there but she is still very weak. I got a call on Monday saying they would not send her back yet but would look at things again Tues. She was a little better last night but still confused.

Surprise! Pat called there this afternoon and they were in the middle of transferring her back to St. Anne's. I just called out there and she is there already and they are assessing her. I have to admit I have some reservations about moving her now. She is still very weak and unable to walk or transfer without a lot of help. St. Anne's says they are able to take care of her but I have seen the difference in nursing home care... In the hospital, if you call for the nurse, someone responds right away. At the nursing home, it can take quite a while for someone to come. No choice now. She's there and we will have to work with it.

The infection is better and she will be on IV antibiotics until Sat. Her kidney function is improving and her strength is still very poor. I'll head out there tonight to see how she is and I'll report back.
