The Latest on Mum...

..and it's good news!

Mum was transferred to the rehab facility yesterday!  She is not pain-free, but is in significantly less pain.  She was awake and alert.  She also walked--thirty steps--with a walker.  Praise God for the progress she has made.

Doctors and therapists have said that is likely that Mum will regain her ability to dress and feed herself, but that she will require twenty-four hour care for her remaining days.  At this point, we're hopeful that she will move in with one of her children, who has been preparing for this eventuality, but the decision will be in her hands.  If she chooses to reside in an assisted living home, we will support her.  We will know in a few weeks.
