Family Updates
I am so tired that I’m slap happy, but I can’t sleep. It’s one of those nights when I just wish the clock would move quicker than lightning. I’ll be seeing, hugging and kissing my older daughter Lady Ali soon. She’s arrived in Florida tonight from Kansas, and is staying overnight at a friend’s house (when they reach the age of 21 there’s not much you can do about them coming straight home any more).
Tomorrow she and her Fiance, Buttah are driving here to spend the day and night. I am so excited! I haven’t seen her since June. We’ll get some precious time together and it will be so wonderful! All of their gifts are waiting under the tree for them. And I’m already planning their meals while they’ll be here.
More good news about my Aunt. She was finally discharged from the hospital and is now comfortably relaxing in a Rehab Center. I was even more thrilled when we arrived after she was transported there, to see some of my old friends from when I worked in home health working there. I know that she is being well taken care of. The attitude of all of the staff there was just the complete opposite of what we faced at the hospital. They all spoke so kindly to us and welcomed my Aunt with open arms. They made sure she was comfortable before they did anything else. She was their priority. And they listened! It was such a pleasure that we felt like we were transported to a different world.
We unpacked her clothing and items, set up her Christmas cards and gifts, got her settled in, spoke to the nurses and her CNA and off we went. We felt comfortable enough to leave her and go get some dinner.
Thank God that she is now in this place! I know she will be treated extremely well. We will be working on trying to increase her stay since she’s only entitled to 10 days there and she will probably need more time to gain her strength and be safe when walking again.
I hope you enjoy your visit with your daughter.
It’s good your aunt was discharged from the hospital. I hope she continues to progress in rehab.
It sounds like your aunt is in a good place. I hope her recovery continues to be positive. Enjoy your time with your daughter!
It was and still is lovely, valmg. What a wonderful day it’s been so far, with more to come. My Aunt is progressing each day. Thanks for your concern.
I’m enjoying every minute Karen. It is a lot less stressful for us knowing that my Aunt is being well cared for.
No doubt you have spent the day basking in the glow of your oldest daughter’s visit!
So glad to hear that your Aunt is settled in a nice place and receiving good care. May she have a successful – and short – recovery!

It’s been wonderful Linda, even better than I dreamed. It’s been nice getting to know her fiance better as well.
I’m so glad to hear your Aunt is doing well and is in great hands!
