Mom is coming home today!!!!

Hello everyone, we are back from Mexico. I am now Mrs. Shanna Ann Watson. Since I have been gone they have been getting mom ready for home. She has learned how to get in and out of a car. She can slide into bed and to the restroom on her own. She has been walking with help a lot further. She did have the horrible flu bug and is slowing getting better. It's weird you would think with all the medication in her that she could not get anything else.

Dad stayed all night with mom last night so that he could see how a full day and night goes. We also had a family meeting yesterday to review things. Dad has been a trooper. He has ran the office, taken care of the house since I have been gone for 2 weeks. Dad took the baby bed and the Queen bed down in the extra bedroom to move mom in. Today they are going to deliver the hospital bed to the house, they got her a new wheel chair and the other tools she needed.
Then tomorrow the PT and OT will be set up for home. They are taking her pic line out today and her medication will be oral only. So she will not be having a daily nurse.
We will be so glad to have her home she has spent 63 days in the hospital. I think she might have broke records. Thank you for all your love and support it means the world to our family.

Mom has been doing pretty good. In the last few days she has continued to walk with assistance and a walker about 3 times a day around 50 feet each time. Every time she is getting stronger. Right now we are looking at a goal of heading home on January 20. In the last few days she has had a few little challenges a rash, on set of pain and horrible dry skin. The sjogrens syndrome is a lot more active lately than they have wanted. Dr. Irvin did increase her prednisone and put her on new medication to fight the sjogrens. I think it is difficult to control the sjogrens until they get the infection in the blood steam and bones gone.
I will be leaving for Mexico on Tuesday 01/06 and back on 1/17. Please send mom her love and prayers while I'm gone.
