At this time, Lisa is quite "stable". This is an unexpected "reprieve" for her! With her "septic" condition when she left the hospital, all felt her time was very short so that is why she was accepted at the Hospice House. The combination of the kidney drain tube and the 4 powerful anti-biotics must be the reason for her surprise change in condition. ....or could it possibly be due to a very strong constitution?
However, wonderful things have occurred the past few weeks as a result. She was up in her wheel chair for a couple of days, was able to tour the beautiful facility she is in, LOVES her private room, has had "tons" of visitors, flowers galore, her big brother, David, came from Arizona and spent 2 days with her, and she even had a "slumber party" one night with her daughter Devon. Devon is almost 17 and a graduating Senior this year!
Her room is way comfortable...... not only for Lisa, but for visitors! We all love to visit and spend time there with her. One special treat: Trader Joe's Valentine flowers came in a date LATE..... so they donated all of them to Hickey House! Lisa got four of the bouquets.... 2 dozen red and white roses, tulips and a mixed bouquet. Her aide just kept bringing them in!!! The staff really love Lisa and take such good care of her. We have grown quite fond of the "Animal Planet" and "Food" channels. Lisa even got a "private" massage from a volunteer that comes in 2 times a week for the patients. Our daughter, Becky and family traditionally "journey" from Beaverton every Sunday night to visit Aunt Lisa. Becky also does solo visits when the cherubs are home and in bed.
A "smother mother" at times has a hard time with the "Lord's Own Time"..... but it is virtually in His Hands as to when she will be allowed to "Go Home".
