100th Post!

 Happy 100th Post! I know, there should be more by now. Sorry! I've been lacking in the blogging part of my life.

Anyhow, just a little update today.

Here's what we've been up to this month:

1st: Mom moved to Heritage Park
4th: We Celebrated my birthday, (I just turned 17)
18th: The eye doctor came in and gave mom an exam. She has cataracts in both eyes. She will not be having surgery.
24th: Pioneer Day!
29th: We went to McKay Dee Hospital for mom to have an MRI done. Unfortunately, we will have to reschedule at King's Medical Imaging which has an open MRI scanner.
30th: Andy (my cousin, Mom and Dad's nephew) got married! Congratulations Andy and Jessica!

As of now, we're just waiting to get the MRI done so we can go back and see Dr. Kaplan.

We are really liking Heritage Park and what they are doing for mom. They are doing a lot of therapy with her and mom especially likes the Physical Therapist, Chris. She seems to be speaking to us more and she is regaining some use of her right hand. It depends on the day, but overall, I think she's doing much better!

P.S. Hopefully it won't be another month before I get around to blogging!
 

Temporary Home

Hey all! I'm back from Chicago, which means I'm back to blogging! Actually, I've been home since Wednesday night, but it's been a busy couple of days so I haven't really had a chance to blog.

Anyways, I had a blast in Chicago, and you can see some of my pictures here:

It was a great getaway, but it was hard to be gone with all of this happening around here.

As soon as I got back, I had to go see my mama. When I walked in the room, she looked at me and a giant smile spread across her face. That's the happiest I've seen her in quite a while.

Mom was moved back upstairs on Wednesday right before I got back, and she stayed there until we left on Friday. They finally found her somewhere to go on Thursday night and we said yes, so she is there now.

On Friday, we moved mom into her temporary home in Roy, a care center called Heritage Park. We spent today decorating and moving her things there to make it feel more comfortable until she can go back to Mt. Ogden. We're hoping they can adjust her medications and figure out the reason why she's screaming and resolve the issue once and for all. I sure hope we can do this quickly!
