We seem to be slowly going nowhere or at least nowhere I can define. Mom will spend another night here in the hospital because she has pneumonia. I just missed the doctor and he only comes once a day. Now I’m trying to get some details from mom about what he said. Nearing another nowhere. He did tell her she would be spending another night which is good news because I can’t imagine her having the strength to do much of anything. I’m grateful she is able to communicate fairly well and seems comfortable. Her speech is slow but what she says makes sense. We talk about limited subjects and I wonder how she is processing what is happening to her on a deeper level. She’s been moved in and out of so many rooms and beds in the last three weeks and often asks what is going to happen to her. I don’t know. She wonders where she will live next but clearly understands that she won’t be going back to Independent Living at Garden Villas. One week ago the goal was to get her into Assisted Living but now I don’t think that will be the best place for her. She will return to rehab at Delmar Gardens and be evaluated again. At this time Long Term Nursing care seems like the most sensible decision. i never thought I would hear myself say that.
