Moving along

Had a meeting at the hospital yesterday. They are moving mom to a different part of the hospital. She no longer needs the constant heart care she has been getting (good) but still isn't ready to go to the next phase. Where she is going they will work on her pain managment and rehab mostly. So that is good. Scary too. They are talking about discharging her in about 7 weeks. Now that could be to home or it could be to a rehab center (although no one wants to take her due to her condition). The scary part is her condition. If she has one of her episodes she needs to get on the dialysis machine asap. Near her home, the dialysis machine isn't available for urgent things like that...the closest machine for that is an hour and a half away. Is that enough time? I guess we will start asking them those questions in a couple weeks. But I would really hate to get to the point where she can be released then have her have an episode at home only to either end up back in the hospital or passing away.

One step at a time, thats all I can do right?
