Weekend roundup

So yeah, the pictures are up. Pretty intense. Mom took it bit more directly than I imagined, and yet here she is, getting better everyday.

We didn't get to DSM until Saturday night, but it sure was great to hear Mom's voice again. It's been nearly a month. Her voice sounded better than I was anticipating and she is now able to eat, so all is going well. They are also supposed to close up the tracheotomy at the end of the week, so then she will be breathing and eating normally. Apparently they expect her to spend at least 3-4 weeks in rehab at Mercy Capitol, they are moving her there tomorrow.

We are currently trying to locate Mom and Dad a new place to live. Their current duplex will not do for an even mildly disabled person, like Mom will be when she gets out of the hospital. Currently the only bedrooms and bathroom are on the second story of a building that requires 3 steps just to get into. So, if anyone in the DSM area knows any apartment/condo rentals that are handicapped accessible let us know, we'd be interested in having a look.

Until we meet again.
