My Mom was released today! Thank the Lord. She has nothing attached to her anymore and is able to walk (with assistance a short distance). We thought she was going to have to go home with the picc line in her, but they decided it wasn't needed, so YAY!! Nothing to drag around or watch out for. She will be having a nurse come 3x a week to change her surgery dressing and to take vitals.
This was as serious as it gets! We almost lost her, according to the Dr's. It was touch and go the first few days (but they didnt' tell us that, thank God or I woulda been a nervous wreck!). The infection was so severe! OMG, can you imagine if she would have never gone into get the band removed? The abscess would have ruptured and she would have died!! I don't even wanna think about that.
So, I picked her up today and drove her home. Back in her own house, her own smells, her own chair, her own tv channels.....
