As excited as all of you, Mom and Dad spent their first night outside of the hospital at my place and were sleeping on the same bed together for the first time after more than a month between NYG and PMH.
20111121 Wednesday - Mom did her bone marrow biopsy in the morning by Dr. Lutynski. According to Mom, she didn't feel any pain at all. So far, she thinks this is the best one. It only took less than half an hour before she needed to rest. They then talked to the doctor, dietitian, pharmacist, nurses and got all the paper work done before lunch. They had a quick lunch while waiting for the prescription. It was a three hour wait however but it's all good as Mom needed to rest anyways. Dad called me shortly after lunch at 1239 telling me that they are ready to go within 15mins. Too bad I was busy at work and had to finish something before leaving but I beat the rush hours and arrived there at 3pm. Dropped off a box of candies to the nurses and said goodbye. "Hope to see you again" was never heard, however, from the nurses, hahaha...even though we know we will come back for more check up and regular visits from now on. But yea, bye bye!
Other than being super happy and excited, Carly kept "ordering" us "no stairs for Gu Ma" and yes, Mom didn't even have enough strength to step up my SUV when we were hopping in. On the way down, Dad was very sensitive explaining to Mom every single corner of the hospital and telling her this is where we came in, where we get Tim Hortons, where we park, etc. Very sweet...for once, haha! The traffic back up wasn't as smooth but it wasn't bad and honestly, the more time we spend together the better. As long as we are together. Mom asked for hot dog from Costco and I'm sure Dad missed it too. And to Dad's surprise, she managed to finish half!
The last time we had dinner at home with the boys are September 30th at the Autumn Festival. Almost two months ago already. The boys were so excited about seeing Mah Mah Yeh Yeh again at home. We had fun with the squid ink pasta, hahaha. Thank God once again. Dad went back to clean up while Mom was resting at my place. They will probably stay at mine for a few days, at least we can prepare them dinner here.
20121122 Thursday - Good morning Mommy! How wonderful it is to see her once I woke up in the same house. It reminds me of our Springbrook home before I got married. She slept really well last night and only woke up twice for washroom breaks. After BSF, Gloria, the boys, Mom and Dad and I had lunch together at home, isn't it amazing?! God is good all the time. Gloria took Dad to Costco after while the boys and Mom were napping. And of course, I went back to work, haha.
Mom slept very well at my house so far, thank God. She's also feeling better and better with more strength on her knees. Yes, she spends most of the time upstairs resting Carly, hehehe. Dinner was simple but very homey. Dad helped Mom shower for the first time at my place. It was not too bad. Her Picc line is still with her, so we need to wrap around it with saran wrap. It's all good. She also asked for Chinese TV but too bad we don't, haha. Dad will activate Roger's cable tomorrow. And I think he is pretty much done cleaning up their house and ready for Mom to really go home, hehehe.
Please note that Mom is still sick but she's better and well enough to rest at home. After more than a month of full time nurse training, Dad is fully certified (just not registered) for Mom. Please continue to pray for his health and fitness cuz' taking care of a patient is not easy, taking care of a wife is HARD!!! Thank God for unfolding his sovereign plan all along. I trust that everyone is feeling His presence. God please keep using us.
“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.” (Psalm 100:4-5)
