Angela was officially released from Palomar Hospital at 11AM Wednesday, September 14th 2005. She proceeded to spend the next 6 hrs shopping at the Escondido mall.
3 days later and she's happily settled back home. She's even walking on her own! She needs a bit of support here and there but she is doing so great compared to even just a week ago.
Yup, you read that right! Angela has finally gotten the go ahead from the doctor to go home! She is so excited she can hardly sleep. She's up at all hours of the night planning what she's going to do once 'she's out'.
She'd planned on Fri. but the doctor told her she can go anytime after Tues. so Wed. morning she's breaking outta there!
Yay!
Wow! Alot has changed since we last posted here (sorry about that). Lately the schedule has been: Mom during the week, me on the weekends. A few times Jess has also been able to stay over (something she hopes to be able to make a weekly thing).
Angela can sit up! All by herself. She swings her legs over the side of the bed and can 'transfer' herself from the bed to her wheelchair almost by herself using the 'transfer board'(a nurse dutifully stands by just in case). She can also wheel herself around the hospital with a little help now and then when her arms get tired.
She's doing so great that during a meeting on Wednesday, the doctors, P/T's and nurses agreed that if she continues on this fast track recovery, she can go home in as little as 3 weeks!
Yay!
