January 17, 2010

Today is not much different than yesterday. She is doing great with remembering who we are, who family is and other "past memories" when you ask about them and enjoyed answering. She seems to be talking more random nonsense these past few days and to people that are not really there. She also mentioned a few names: Rodney and Betty, Janet and Straus?

We wanted to inform you that Mom will not be at Promise much longer. Medicare will not pay for her to be at Promise past January 27th. They will pay for a rehab/nursing home type place 100% for awhile...then the percentage goes down...this is where Medicaid will step in. Johnny will be trying to get her on medicaid tomorrow and I will visit more places tomorrow as well. I toured 1 on Saturday but I have 5 more to tour. We will only be considering the ones that provide complete rehab (physical, occupational and speech) and will be fine with us being very proactive in her recovery as in being filled in on daily progress etc. We will keep you all informed on our findings.
Anyway, back to Mom. She ate great for all three meals! She brushed her own teeth for Johnny and got a complete lotion slathering from me.

Just so you all know, we when we do the daily/several x daily family/friend quiz with her, we make sure to let her know how much each one of you loves her and are rooting for her. This makes her smile. :)
