Hold on to your hats, I have good news!


Good news, and the timing of it couldn't have been better.  My Mom has a placement in a long term care facility in our town!  (Insert choirs of Angels singing here). 

The transfer date is early next week and she will be able to remain in the hospital until that time.  So that means I don't have to disrupt her and move her twice.  (I was supposed to move her home on Thursday).  And I don't have to have a hospital bed in my living room. 

I just can't help smiling.  After all the ups and downs it looks like things are turning around.  I will get to see her new room this weekend and can decide what I need to pretty it up before she moves.  I feel like a giant weight has been lifted.  

Once again I am reminded to have patience and a little faith and things will work out.  I seem to need to remind myself of this a lot ;)
