Going Home

Today at 3pm I will be taking my mother home from the hospital. A few days ago we did not think that this was an option. Neither did the hospital staff. That just goes to show you that as much as we think we are in control, a higher authority has the final say. She is going home with a smile on her face to the place she loves the most. We are set up to make her comfortable. Her care will be the same as before. We need to understand that life is precious and any extra days with a loved one are priceless. We also need to understand that we are not involved in the decision of how many day, weeks or years it will be.
