The Day.....

So today is the day that my mom was moved off my couch and into assisted living. It was a really hard day but it is what it is. I went and dropped her off earlier so she could get settled in and I went and got her some things that she needed, picked up Alice and then went back and had dinner with her which was nice. When I left this evening my mom bawled her eyes out saying how scared she was but she was also trying to reasure me that she would be fine. I called her this evening to make sure everything was going good and she sounded much happier which was good to hear. I then let her know that I would be out tomorow to see her.
I am hoping that maybe tomorow we can do lunch somewhere and visit. I am excited to help her decorate her new place and make it homey.

Busy life equals crazy ideas......

So on top of Alice having this cold that won't go away that when it finally did it left her with an upper lung infection :( she is on an antibiotic and prednisone, lets hope it all gets better quickly so our trip to disneyworld goes off without hitch. Speaking of which, our said trip starts Saturday! I cant believe it! This last saturday we had a huge windstorm, thank god it wasnt as bad as we all thought it would be, but Alice had her make a wish party where she celebrated with her friends about her wish being granted. Because of weather many friends couldnt make it which was a bummer  but she had fun with the ones that did come.

Life has been really busy lately. I've been visiting my mom alot while she was in the skilled nursing facility, and we've all been super sick with this cold that won't stop. My mom was approved for an extended stay at the skilled nursing facility until she can get into an assisted living facility, but she decided to leave on friday when her original stay was over. She was going stir crazy and just wanted to go home......But right before she got home her well broke so she couldn't go home so she came to my house and stayed Friday, and went home saturday after the well was repaired. Saturday she went home and had a terrible night, she felt like she was getting worse and it was harder to breathe, so Sunday she came back and is still with me which is totally fine But she is going stir crazy again and her anxiety is kicking up.
We got a phone call today saying a room was ready at the assisted living place but it h as vinyl floors and would be too cold for her so now we wait until the 24th when her original room is ready to occupy.....

Great News!

Great News!
    SO my mom was approved for assisted living! This is a huge thing for us. We've been trying to get this done for months and she's always been "to healthy" to go into assisted living which she needs, she has some critical needs that scare the hell out of me when I'm away and can't get near her quick enough.

This is amazing for me, it lifts so much off of my shoulders and I won't have to worry why we are in Disney World that she is laying somewhere with a broken hip. I am beyond excited.
