Chris is coming home.

Since she is not near death yet, hospice is sending her home. She will have 24 hour continual care for the first few days until we know how to care for her. This won’t be as bad as caring for her while she was on the feeding tube and the PICC. Once we are adjusted the nurse will come once a day to check on her as well as a doctor. If she starts to have an episode all I have to do is call her team and they will start around the clock care again. She will never have to go to another hospital again.

When I told her about this she got really scared. Every time she winds up at home we are back in the ER really quickly. I assured her that this is different since she is under hospice. They will make sure that she gets everything she needs and that she continues to be comfortable. At least she will be able to spend time with me, mom, and the girls. I know she misses us.

So tonight I have to clear out the family room as much as I can in order to make room for the hospital bed. We are getting that, a commode chair, a table, and a wheel chair. Once she is too weak to get out of bed to use the commode she will either be using a bed pan or adult diapers. She is already so weak and she is getting weaker every day. Please pray for strength for all of us. We are going to need it to get through these next few weeks.
