Good news...

...my mother in law came home on Tuesday.

She's been in a nursing home since last year and she was in the hospital for several months before that...

...she will have a nurse come visit 20 hours per week and the family has hired a woman to come in on the other days to help her with her bath, etc.

She still cannot walk. She cannot bathe herself, she still needs help for every personal function. She can feed herself and she is getting stronger.

There is a hospital bed in the living room for her, a wheelchair, a portable toilet and a lift.

My father in law looked terrified.

I am happy for her, but very nervous...I feel this is too soon. But, no one asked me. The look on her face when she was wheeled into the house was pure bliss and she teared up. She remarked how, during her lowest moments, she would close her eyes and picture how the house looked. She was so happy to see it looking just the same as it had when she left.

We are going over to visit again on Sunday for Father's day.
