I flew back to Des Moines this morning, rented a car & drove to Atlantic to see my mom.
Stopped by the local HyVee grocery to buy snacks for the drive & was greeted with pumpkins.
Fall is in the air in Iowa!
Arrived at the care center at 3:30pm. It was so good to see my mom! She's made many improvements since being in the Des Moines hospital; swelling down significantly, no more supplemental oxygen needed, eating well, & she's content without any significant pain. Mom has not gained enough strength to use her walker anymore. Hate that she is restricted to a wheelchair & needs two nurses for several daily tasks. But...mom is still mom and we rolled down to the activity room to play hymns on the piano.
So thankful you were able to spend quality time with your mother!
