Transport went well

The Transport from Stanford to Salinas went well...Luckily, everyone was able to find my parents' house...if you have every been to my parents' house you would understand why it is a challenge.

Mom did not have any pain during the transport, and didn't even grimace when she was transferred to the bed. Her eyes did open a few times, and I think she knows that she is home.

The Hospice Social Worker and Nurse were here to process paperwork and help orient us to Mom's care. On a nice note, The Social Worker, Marian Carapezza, used to work at Natividad Hospital when Mom was there. She remembers her and it felt good to know that "friendly hands" were here to help.

The bed was delivered, two hours early....thank goodness that Tony, he works for my Dad, was around to open the house. Since he helped Jeff move some furniture, he knew where the bed was suppose to be set up. He has truly been a lifesaver during Mom's hospital visits...he took precious care of the dogs, cat and fish....esp. Ginger...Mom's baby (Pomeranian). Gary noticed that on the paperwork for the bed delivery, Tony signed his name, and under relationship, he wrote "amigos". Too cute...

Many thanks to my BIL Douglas for supplying us with some supplies, Mr & Mrs Sakasegawa for the yummy wonton soup and to Connie for the delicious brownies.
