akc-
I'm really glad to hear that your mom is doing alright and that you're home. I went though the same thing with my dad, so I know what you are going through-somewhat.
Your post really brought back some memories for me-the last time my dad was in the hospital, I went to spend time with him-I asked him to hold me that day for the first time in my life I was held by a man who said they loved me, but didn't want to screw me in return. It was the last time we spoke.
Thanks for bringing that back to me-
Kiddo> Wow -- It will take me a day or two to catch up!

> My mom is doing okay. They were moving her to a rehab hospital today. Her lungs cleared up pretty quick, but then she had some heart complications. But that seemed to be under control today. However, she has no endurance whatsoever, so the need for a few days of rehab. She still had pretty good muscular strength (my mom has participated in an outpatient cardio-pulminonary fitness program for five years to maintain her fitness even though she has COPD). Hopefully, she will be able to go home by the beginning of next week.

> The visit was great with my mom. My sister and mom's husband made the first day incredibly stressful. But I accomplished exactly what I wanted -- spending quality time with my mother. It is scary to think that each time I see my mom may be the last time. I plan to get out there as soon as I can -- maybe November.
