Medically, my mom is improving every day, but still having a lot of trouble. The halo is exhausting for her to carry for any amount of time. She got out of bed three times today and is just whipped tonight. The physical therapy goal for the Idaho facility will be to get her in a condition where she can withstand a commercial flight home. Then she will enter another residential rehab center in Roseville/Sacto where her goals will be getting her functional at home. She will need up to a year of follow up care. She is still extremely distressed about Rita.

Busy Wednesday
Yet another day of craziness in Idaho. I keep thinking Mom will just do some rehab therapy, we will just bring her some ice cream in the afternoon, and all will be calm. HA! The health insurance folks are kicking my mom out of the hospital--she is too healthy. Um, yeah... Anyhoo, the four of us decided that she will move up to the sixth floor (in the same hospital, but considered an independent facility) tomorrow. She will have to share a room, yikes, I feel sorry for her roommate already. Every time we all visit at the same time Mom has a panic attack, so imagine someone who doesn't know us... So, keep an eye out for a new phone number to be posted in the very near future.

Hi all,
I am glad to hear that Aunt Janet is doing so much better.I am hoping and praying for Rita's safe return.
We all send our love.
Here in Roseville nothing much has changed. I am excited for Whole Foods to finally come to Roseville. The Cheesecake Factory opened recently and Aunt Janet will be happy to hear that the workmen at the mall are working very hard to bring her some new stores.
Yesterday my friend Sarah and I went on a day trip to Reno to see the PetEdge store. It was amazing. There was so much cool grooming stuff. I bought a new pair of curved shears (expensive, but soo exciting).
Well I should be going.
The poodles and Jon send their love.
forever,
Christine
Ah, those health insurance folks -- gotta love their ?logic. However, Janet, you may be around fewer wild germs on the 6th floor, and that's a good thing. I will be watching for the new phone number, as I'm supposed to call Friday. Tomorrw Liz and I fly back home, so I probably won't check until early Friday. I'm so sorry abour Rita and am sending love and wishes for comfort, Carolyn
At least there is a light at the end of a very long tunnel. Seems rather hasty, however, to move Janet at this time--what a state our health care is in!
Glad to see you are moving forward. It will be wheelchair races in no time! See you in ten days.
Love,
Vickie
