Health Update
Really good news, after a weekend of rest and a few days of therapy, Stephany/Mom has been approved for discharge from the hospital, effective today. After two weeks there, she is ready to go home. Her pain is reduced from pre-surgery levels and she is regaining some of her mobility.
Her decline in health, in particular the several weeks prior to hospitalization, has had her family very, very concerned. We are hopeful that the care and treatment she received the past two weeks, notably the herniated disc surgery, have given her the physical, mental and spiritual boost that she so needed.
Even though her Parkinson's will continue to advance, we believe she will now be much more comfortable and stable, and that some of the recent decline can even be reversed. We are already seeing signs of that. A big focus will be on managing (she might say micromanaging!) her food and liquid intake, and she will now have home health care, including P/T.
She will be ready for some visits beginning tomorrow or Friday. To coordinate, please contact John at 816-630-7708 (home).
We will keep you posted here on how she is doing. Thanks again for all of your notes of encouragement over the past two weeks, we are all so grateful.
