Mom has done well in her first week at home. There have been some challenges, but on balance she continues to show slow, gradual improvement. She is eating better. She understands that if she eats 75 % of what is recommended then she does not need supplemental nutrition given through her PEG. She eats right up to 75 % then stops. She has had home physical and occupational therapy. The speech therapist has evaluated her and will begin in-home therapy soon. She also get visits from a nurse who assesses her general health and an aide who helps bathe her.

Bob is feeling better after developing some back pain earlier this week as a result of getting out of bed frequently at night to help mom. Next week will present new challenges in that Bob will get to take her to some doctors appointments.
