Brennan, Cousin Phil, Marge, Paul and I all visited Mom this morning and she was in great spirits. She'll be going home to Linbay tomorrow (Tuesday).
In between all the joking around, we were actually able to arrange for "bridge care" (help with the transition from the hospital to home). They'll be setting up Mom with a take-home oxygen tank and PCA (the direct pain reliever, which is working much better than the other stuff we've tried). For precautionary measures she'll also get a wheelchair, hospital bed and a home nurse for monitoring.
We're going back to the hospital in a little bit to smuggle in some outside food, since the hospital grub is pretty bad. Mom did however manage to have sausage, toast and a Wendy's chocolate smoothie this morning!
More news later, as it develops...
