Day 44… Yesterday they began the process of weaning Mom off her IV pain meds, which they totally discontinued about 6pm and took her off the ‘Nutrition’ IV as well. The only thing left is her IV antibiotic … YAY!! No more ‘IV Christmas Tree’! We’re hoping without the Nutritional IV she’ll have an increase in appetite. At this time we’re looking at bringing Mom home either Monday or Tuesday… Keeping fingers crossed!
Yesterday’s dinner she FINALLY got her mashed potatoes!! =D The ONE thing (besides ice chips) she’s been actually craving and she finally got her wish…. We were all there when her dinner arrived and her eyes sparkled! Then she chased us home so she could eat her mashed potatoes and gravy… S-L-O-W-L-Y savoring each bite ;-)
We’ve been saving ALL the emails you’ve sent us wishing her well and sharing your thoughts. We ‘copied & pasted’ them onto a Word Document and printed them out for her…. She now has a binder with 14 pages of them!!! Thank you, Thank YOU, THANK YOU!!!! Yesterday we gave her the collection for her to read through, now that she’s feeling better and we will continue to add your messages as they come in… Oh my goodness!! Your kindness, well wishes and love flowed through your messages and right into her heart … she loves reading them! You ALL mean so much to her…. You ALL mean so much to us!! Stay in touch… xoxoxo!
