Mom has been at a Rehabilitation Facility for the Past Four Weeks.
She is doing well with Her Arms as They are Becoming Stronger Each Day.
Her Legs, However, are still Paralyzed along with Her Bowels and Bladder.
I have Received Training to be able to "Cath and Do Bowel Prep."
I have also Learned How to Transfer Her from Her Wheelchair to Bed, etc.
She will be Coming Home on the 31st.
My Family has been Working Nonstop Building a Ramp and Making Other Modifications to the House...
My being Away so much has caused some Minor Set Backs with Layla's Behavior, but We are All Working to Accommodate and Adapt.
It is Another Major Change for Our Family, but I Suppose this is Why God Trusted Us to Handle Mother's Injury.
He knows We have Had LOTS of Practice!
I have missed Blogging so much.
I miss Reading about All of Your Funny, Sad, Amazing, Corky, Stories about You, Your Families, Your Pets...
I have missed The Journaling Part.
I realize now, Just How Therapeutic Blogging Really Is.
Once We get Mom Home and Settled into a Routine, I am Insisting on a Block of Time Each Day to Blog.
I Need the Therapy!!!!
I Hope All is Well with Everyone.
I Think of You Often.
Please, Continue to Remember My Mom is Your Prayers and Thoughts!
I Love You,
Missy

We missed you too. It sounds rough but you are obviously tough, like your Mom. We will continue to pray for strength for all of you.
Hugs, Kim
I wondered where you went! Prayers to yours. Im changing blog formats and I hope you will come follow! www.atallorder-wym.blogspot.com
MIssy...you are a very loving daughter and woman to be taking care of your Mom like you are. I've been there done that for my parents...but not to the extent you are. You need to be sure and do one thing to be able to make it through the long haul. Make sure you take time for yourself...the caregiver. If not you are going to be worn out before you take a deep breath. It is as important for your routine when your Mom comes home as sleeping, eating, brushing your teeth.
I'll be sending prayers and love your way...and you can always vent with your bloggie friends. Ask us no secret we tell no lies!
Hugs~
So sorry. What a team the family is, though. I hope you all find little blessings through this trying time. Praying for your Mom and the family.
Missy, we miss you, too!
Another reminder we just never know what life is going to throw at us...
life and learning- a favorite quote I try to live by "Don't fight the curriculum"
Love to you and your ma and your family.
looking forward to getting caught up on your "therapy time" real soon.
I have so missed your posts. I don't have words. Just praying.
i've missed having you around lately. i think of you often when i see your updates on facebook & i've prayed for your mom & for the rest of the family who this is affecting. she's lucky to have you. and who knew that your girls were preparing your patience and self-denial to be able to deal with this?
You are missed! Will keep you and your mom in our prayers!
My best wishes and good thoughts go out to your mother and all of you who will be lovingly taking care of her.
My goodness - you epitomize what is meant by the 'sandwich' generation. Take care of yourself Missy.
Have missed you too!
Hope the transition goes smoothly. I'm sure getting back to blogging will help, and I will keep you and yours in my prayers.
You are in my thoughts for sure.
Blessings to your family

I've been AWOL myself so I was surprised to bop over here and see the last two posts. I'm so sorry! You stated a truth though, God gives us the challenge because He knows we can do it. However you got your practice, He knows your capable. Happy thoughts your way!!
Hugs and love to you all. Your mom is brave, as are all of you. I watched my bro go through the rehab and it is not an easy task. Sending love...
I have been thinking about you a lot lately and know it will be a new experience but we have to do what is necessary to keep going. You have been missed a lot and we will be right here for you when you have time. Take care of Missy too.

Oh Missy, I'm so sorry! I haven't been around in the blog world as much lately and had no idea what had happened to your mom. My prayers are with you and your family!
It's not selfish to take time for yourself and blogging does help.
Wow - that's a lot to have on your plate! I wish you the best of luck, and your mom a speedy recovery. That has got to be so hard! Yes, remember to take time for yourself everyday to stay sane!
Been thinking of you chica........best wishing and much love.
I am glad to here you mom is coming home....I bet she is anxious to get out of the hospital.
She is lucky to have a loving family to care for her and give her the support she needs right now.
I certainly hope and will pray for her continued recovery.
Hang in there girl....Your mom and family need you
we are here.......waiting in the wings, no problem
blogging I find is a good way to help us put words to our feelings.
You are amazing and I love you. I'll bet you don't hear that enough!
I have not been blogging much my self lately.
Glad your mom is coming home. Will pray that she continues to do well on her road to recovery. Being home may help heal things faster.
I hope your mom is doing better, and just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you xxoo
