Home Again - Rough But Worth It.
Yesterday at 6:00pm they did another surgery on mommy to put a catheter straight through her side into her bladder rather than having to go up through her urethra. Although the staff at the hospital was not exactly fond of the idea, we had worked out with them that as long as mommy was stable after the surgery we were leaving last night. And at 9:00pm we did.
By 11:00pm mommy was home and in bed. She is on oxygen and/or a breathing machine all the time, is taking her food and medicine through a feeding tube and is generally happy to be home. It's rough but worth it.
She continues to have a lot of head/neck pain. We believe this is because the muscles in her neck have been affected by the ALS and she just doesn't have the strength to hold it up anymore. Hopefully we can get some answers from PT when we see that therapist here at the house in the near future.
Again, it's rough but worth it.

But he said to me,"My grace is sufficient for you. My power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 2 Corinthians 12:9
We're praying for you!
The care we give to those we love is always worth it!
So absolutely happy that you are all at home together. Rejoicing and thanking Father God for answered prayers. There IS no place like home.
Love, Teresa Mathia
I have prayed and will continue to pray. "May God give you more and more grace and peace." 2 Peter 1:2
