Nothing New

So just to make sure that we're all on the same page, the kind of information I’ll be sharing with folks will have to do with any significant changes in mom’s situation such as changing locations etc.  I won't be going into the minutia of mom’s daily routines either here or in conversation because, quite simply, while Michele and I will be working to ensure that mom is as comfortable as possible wherever she ends up, there will be little to comment upon that’s of any relevance since there is no foreseeable change to the endgame.

At this point, mom’s expressed wishes are to not come home, despite Michele’s and my desire that she be here.  She feels unable to care for herself, but until we are able to determine what level of home support we can receive, I am not going to rule that option out. 

Mom appreciates and values the expressions of care and support that she has received from family and friends.  She continues to tell me that visits that involve folks engaging her in conversation are taxing, and that even phone calls demand so much focus that they drain her of energy(she doesn't currently have a phone in her room either).  So, please balance your need and desire to see and talk to mom, with her need for support and low energy level.

Thanks all, for your understanding and support.

PS

I won't be adding anymore updates until mom is transferred back to Kemptville Hospital - KDH (she is on the waiting list for a bed), or there is some other significant change; presume then, that her condition remains stable and that she is as comfortable as possible.
