Home again!

Arrived back home! I am so grateful to those who prayed for us while on this trip. God is good, ALL the time! Had a great trip out to Ohio to visit my mom and in-laws and got some things done for my mom while there. Thanks to my dear in-laws for taking care of DS and I all week!


First thing on my agenda was to go to see my mom on Weds. and attend her Care Plan Mtg. at the nursing home.
Mom looks good...gaining some weight...so she is eating well there. We went outside in the courtyard everyday I went to visit. The weather was perfect! Mom really enjoyed it and seeing the bunny, "Bugsy", who lives in the courtyard area.
My mom had a few issues with the nursing home staff, but hopefully in time things will get resolved. They treat her well, but there are a few that *clash* with my mom. Praying that they will learn to treat my mom with respect and my mom continues to adjust to her new place.
Its almost been a year she has been there and she is doing well. But I think will do better in Assisted Living and the staff agree. We are working on getting her into Assisted Living...she is on the waiting list.

Talked with the some one in the Medicaid office to get some questions answered...not the answer I was looking for...but they are working on it.

Went down to clean my mom's house...brother and family had picked up all the furniture and belongings of my mom. There were 8 bags of trash I collected and thanks to my FIL he came down to pick up and took to a trash place. Our youngest DS helped me to clean the house up a bit. Still needs a better cleaning, BUT we got it done the best we could in the time we had.

Saw a Realtor and had them look at the house and then signed papers to get it up for sale.
Contract is through Nov 2012. Praying it sells quickly!
It was hard thinking that the home I grew up in and my kids visited their grandma in was going to have to be sold. But it needs to be done...so we took a few photos...



Had a wonderful time with DS and I am so glad he agreed to come out with me. I don't know what I would have done without his help. Missed my DH(Happy Anniversary...29 years on 4/2!) and other kids, but it was a trip I needed to take. Looking forward to going back to Ohio in a few months...but it is great to be back home!
