Well, dad found out last night that Dar's family all got home safely. I guess Diane had some interesting things happen on the train, but dad will have to get more details.

Dar's mom and dad hit lots of rain but made it safely to sister Christine's without incident.

Dad talked to moms folks and Christine just before we went to bed last night and they said they had a good time with mom and that she was definatley better than she was the last time they saw her. Diane told dad the same thing the night before on the phone. Diane was excited that mom remembers something that happend between the two of them 12 years ago. Mom smiled at Diane during the story.

If you have been following the posts and check out the comment section you have learned that mom "did" pass her last and very important blue dye test. The last test is the overnighter and mom had to pass it. Now the doctors will meet probably today and begin to discuss stuff related to moms sleep apniea and equipment that might be needed as they ween mom off the trach. Dad has already made some calls to some Lincare company.

Mom got moved yesterday since Tosha left and the room they shared was a dyalisis room they moved mom cuz they were bringing in a new patient. Dad new this might happen if Tosha were to go back to Stanford so he was not too surprized. Dad did find out that he has worked with moms day/swing shift nurses, Maritess and Geesha, so that made him feel better. Dad calls the hospital everyday 3 times a day, once during each shift. Dad called a little bit ago and moms graveyard nurse, Diane, was busy. Dad will call back shortly.

Dad just talked to Diane, moms graveyard nurse and she told dad that they just changed mom and repositioned her. and mom has been sleeping fitfully. Now dad knows all the nurses names and he has told them that he will call during each of the shifts during the week until he returns on the weekends.

Dad continues to talk to Carol, Stewart and Tosha, in fact 3-4-5 times a day. Tosha is doing well and both mom and dad took a little time over the weekend to get some much needed rest.Tosha's mom and dad were both off work Sun/Mon.

Well, you know it will be different now that we don't have our "angel eyes" looking over Dar but dad will continue to keep you posted as best he can. Dad will find a way to have information to share with you all. He's good at that.

Well everyone please keep those prayers going and comment if you like to the blog and please please remember, we love you all for all of your support and prayers. Barkatcha ya'all later, paws for now.
