Is this REALLY the day before Sharon goes "Home"?

Tomorrow is the alleged day of freedom from the hospital! We'll believe it when I get her to the apartment, but everything is headed in that direction. Last night, I brought home a lot of "stuff" that we knew she wouldn't need today. That really reduced our going home baggage by a tremendous amount. I plan to be there in the morning for rounds so I will have a chance to talk to Dr Emerson. There are a couple of things that we still need clarified before we strike out on our own. Dr Baum came by today and basically said her official goodbye before we come back to complete the final transaction. We probably will have a visit with Dr E before we leave but he feels quite confident in where she is right now. He's very happy with the present condition and we certainly want to keep it that way.

Bulli is probably going to be the happiest of the three of us that "Mom" is coming home! He will have his mommy here and she will spend a LOT of time in a sleeping/resting mode. He can get along quite well with those rules. Besides, he's going to miss his fairly regular dish of Blu e Bell vanilla! He's gotten quite hooked on that stuff and gives me dirty looks when I come back to head home without having brought him some.

Sharon has been moving with great speed towards independent mobility in the last couple of days. When she realized that she needed to be able to get into Geovanii to be able to get out of there and get home (either or both of them) she put walking and stair climbing at the top of the list of things that had to happen NOW! The PT folks have been amazed at her progress over the last couple of days! I do believe she's headed in the right direction now and is among the living once again! Caching may be a ways off, but I'd not bet against it happening before too long!

As far as we know at the moment, Dr E wants us here for one week post-dismissal. That may leave us short on some of our plans, but sometimes life is that way!

Cheers
