quick update on Grandma Schroeder

When we got to the hospital yesterday, Grandma perked up and was excited to see us...what a nice surprise for us to know she at least remembers us right now. She knew everybody, which after the night before was a miracle. She is extremely confused though...probably the Alzheimer's. We are heading up early this morning in hopes to talk with doctors as they do rounds. We have been still rearranging our home to make room for Grandma....so many decisions to be made...we need to get her out of the Golden Living Center asap so she will get some refund of the month. Hopefully medicare will pay for a short stay at a nursing home so we can continue to get ready. We realized that we are going to have to totally re due our bathroom ... probably taking out the bathtub and putting in a shower...she would never be able to get into the tub. What a project!!! Any ideas welcome...

Oh my goodness, I was finally catching up on all of the blogging. . .I'm so sorry about everything that his happening. She is so lucky to have you guys, with your strength and love! I pray for you and your family, and Grandma Schroeder. Trials are difficult, change is difficult - but they always seem to make us stronger, and grow. Keep us updated!
