Mom made it home Tuesday night. We were thrilled to see her and so were the kitts. We think even Strawberry might have been a little excited.
Strawberry had been a little snotty when they first got here. But it seems she waited until mom left to give it to the kittens. Mom got a text from the pet sitter on Sunday that one of the kittens had gunky eyes. Then it upgraded to snotty noses. But...everyone was eating and playing, so mom let it go and picked up meds from the rescue on the way home Tuesday night. Fanta is the worst....her one eye is really gunky and she is pretty snotty. But after getting cleaned up and couple of doses of meds into her, she looks a little better. Faygo is snotty and has some eye discharge, but not as bad as her sister. Rootbeer has almost nothing. We suspect his sisters aren't happy about that - MOL. However, he is getting meds with his sisters anyhow.
Grandma is doing better. On the drive home Tuesday, Grandma called mom and said the physical therapist didn't take any crap from Grandma and made her get up and walk down the hall. YAY!! Mom spoke to Grandpa yesterday at lunch and they have adjust her meds down some, taken all the iv's and everything else out ("Grandma unplugged") and getting her up several times per day. The nurse for the surgeon talked to Grandpa and they are going to delay sending Grandma home for a few days and make sure she is stronger (rather than move her to a rehab facility for a few days then send her home).
All in all....good progress. Thanks SO very much for all the purrs.....we know it helped.

ReplyDeleteMOL at Grandma unplugged! We're so glad to hear she's doing better, and we agree that keeping her at the hospital for a couple extra days instead of the transfer to the rehab center is a good move. Sounds like the physical therapist at the hospital is going to have her doing jumping jacks soon!
