Going HOME

What a great Valentines this way this year ! My mom got to go home on Valentines Day after being in the hospital for 142 days !! We were all soo excited to have my mom come home for good after being sick for so long , it was so nice to have that day be here and have her back with us at home ! I stayed home that day so i could be here when my sister brought over the Welcome Home sign we made for our mom . My sister bought her balloons and , came over and we put the sign up and tied the balloons to the railing . So that afternoon my mom came home and i was just so excited to have her home , she saw the balloons and sign and loved it and thought it was so nice and sweet of us . We had my older sister and her cute little family over for a little bit and we just visited . Her first night home was okay , she got sick that night so my dad took care of her and let her get her rest . We had a doctors appt the next day with the Siezure Epileptologist Doctor . The appt went good , just asked how things have been going and she's been looking into my mom's case for awhile since we got there and has read all of her EEG'S .




 Anyway they just wanted to start lowering the valium on my mom , because sometimes that make it cloudy up in the brain and be part of the confusion so we started lowering it today and things have been great ! They want to keep everything else the same with her meds and see how she does with the valium first , then we will have another check up with her again i'm not sure when but sometime soon , then in about 3 months or so they want to do an EEG see how my mom's brain waves look and if any siezure activity is going on , then 6 months they want to do an MRI . We found out from her last EEG they did about 2 maybe 3 weeks ago the left side of the brain was still agitated , and she said that could be the cause of why she still has those moments where she zones out .  It gets pretty scary but she comes back . 




So she will always have doctor appts and she starts outpatient physical thereapy next wednesday until she's all the way better ! My dad has been taking care of my mom and i've been here helping him since i don't work right now , it's been pretty good and at times stressful trying to help him take care of my mom and get other things done but were making it:) . I told my dad to get a picture of my mom leaving the hospital the day she got released so here is a picture of her leaving and the sign we made for her .

Thank you everyone at IMC for taking such great care of my mom and giving us the miracle that she is !!! All of the nurses and doctors at IMC were amazing and became like a second family to us . We couldn't have gone through this without you guys and the support from everyone else and all the prayers . WE BELIEVE IN MIRACLES !!!!
