Isn't that cool too?  So many advances being made (but not quick enough!).

She is doing better, she was supposed to be released from the hospital this week but got another urinary tract infection so I have no idea what is going on now.  All I know is she needs to get out of there so her stress level is down.  Plus the nurses are horrible about giving her pain medication on time.

Hopefully at home I can control her pain better and help her with tube feedings!  Thanks for asking :)

Hello.. and yes.. I think  your Mum will do better at home, so if she can leave hospital now, that would be good. If your Mum is like me, I hate hospitals and strive to get out a.s.a.p. Just feel so much better in my own environment. I hope your Mum is doing well, and continues to feel better. This is one nasty disease.
All the best to you and your Mum....Helmar...
