Thank you all so much for your kind words, they mean more to me than you'll ever know.

Highlans, I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother. I hope you can feel my arms around you for a huge hug.

I spent 6 hours at the NH with Mom. I arrived shortly after noon and ate my lunch there. Shortly after I arrived they came in to take her down for her bath. I thought they had been gone an unusually long time and just as I was getting ready to go check on them...they brought her back. When they tried to get her from the chair to the shower, she passed out and they couldn't hold her up. They gently let her go to the floor and the nurse was called. All her vital signs were all out of whack so they called the Dr. because the nurse thought she may need to go back to the hospital.

The dr. said to just keep an eye on her and her vitals slowly came back to normal. On her way down to the floor after passing out, she rec'd a huge skin tear on the back of her left arm where they were trying to hold on to her. I helped the nurse get it cleaned and bandaged. Mom slept most of the time that I was there. When I told her I was going to head home she wanted to know why and I told her because I had been there for six hours and she was shocked....lol. I told her I mostly just watched her sleep. Mom just smiled. :
