Wow, Sandy....what an ordeal. I know you're glad to be home but worried about your Mom. Please keep us updated on her condition. You're all still in my daily prayers. Guess you need a vacation after that vacation.

(((Sandy, Mom and Family!)))
Still offering on your behalf!

Sandy, sending prayers for your dear mother...it's so hard to travel unknown "territory"....

There are two threads going so I will copy what I wrote today from the other thread: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread93899-5.html

Mom went out last night with her friend James. He took her out to dinner and she said it wore her out. She seems like she is doing pretty good but admits she is weak. She still wants to go home because she said she can heal better there but she knows she can't until she sees the doctor next week.

She is definitely going to need a calender and big clock so she can remember what day and time it is. Shoot, I need that and have it on my fridge. LOL She said if she had these things it would help her keep up with the appointments she has. So, I am off to find a large calender and clock for her. If the doctor says she cannot live alone she will be coming up by me most likely. We'll cross that bridge when we get there. I have her brother living up here and my older brother who can help out if Jim gets sick or something.

Her neuro appointment is next Tuesday or Wednesday and I will update more then. Thanks again for all the prayers and well wishes. I still cannot wrap my head around all that happened.

Mom is going home, she is insisting on it. I don't agree with it and told her that. She is now saying her brain is messed up because I signed the papers to place her in an induced coma. Yea for me! Ugh. She has no clue what her body went through because she doesn't remember it. I told her if we didn't place her into a coma she would be dead or a vegetable. She said maybe that would have been best. :-(

We cannot legally keep her without her will. I begged her to wait until next week after seeing the doctor and she said no. I'll update later.

We talked to the doctor's nurse and she said she can go home as long as she has neighbors who can check on her. She lives in an assisted living apartment and they do check if they don't see her. We are also going to talk to the doctor about getting her a nurse in everyday to make sure she is taking her meds at least for the first couple of weeks. Wish us luck. I am sick to my stomach over the whole thing.

Thank you for keeping us up to date Sandy. I do hope she's doing OK now that she's home. Keeping your family in my prayers.

Mom is still confused and is forgetting things. She's out and about but depressed. Her friend died yesterday from cancer unexpected. She's going to her friend Judy's benefit tonight. She has cancer too. :-(

ahhhhhhhh BIG HUGSSS SANDY, I know what it is like to have a parent with memory stuff going on... my dad memory is still shot to heck....

sorry she wanted to go home, hard when far away I bet, my love and hugs and prayers are with you and your family..hugss,sarah

Sandy, I am limited in my response just now, suffice to say I am remembering you and yours in mythoughts and prayers.

Keep the faith!!!
