Well, yesterday we appealed the hospital decision to discharge to home and not to rehab. The appeal was denied today, but no explanation except the records were reviewed and they concur with the hospital decision.
Yesterday mom took two short walks of about 50 feet with shortness of breath and feeling exhausted after.
Today she had a shower with the nursing assistant and is now feeling played out. She continues to get extremely weak, but is being discharged by noon tomorrow.
We hope for no relapses.

How frustrating! Trust yourselves, don’t push it would be my thought. Recovery can be a slow process. Courage!

Although Hospitals can be very dangerous places, (infection, etc.) I can understand you concern about this decision. My one bout with pneumonia when I was in my 20’s in Alaska, required many months to be fully recovered. Careful will have to be the by word. I know you all have the knowledge and resolve to see this through. Our thoughts are with you.
