Well... Mom was discharged yesterday! It is absolutely amazing how quickly she started to snap back once the doctors were convinced about the treatment about the water retention and enough time for the antibiotics to clear out the pneumonia. We went from Monday wondering if she'd ever get better, to being surprised on Tuesday to find her sitting in a chair to Thursday she's being transported to the home and being her chipper, sassy Grandma self. If she keeps this progress up, she may come home sooner than the two weeks we anticipate! The new hospital at St Anthony's in Gig Harbor was simply wonderful and so were the staff. Thank you everyone for your well wishes and prayers. Kathaleen ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
