WE ARE HOME!!!!! and Liz wants Visitors

Beth writting. Liz is finally home. She is at living with Grandma and Grandpa Griggs in Woodland Hills. She came home on Friday. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday were very interesting days. We are realtively smart people. I can't image what dumb people due. Fighting with insurance and trying to get the correct equpiment delivered. And trying to get the prescriptions so we had them before we got home, especially pain meds.

We have a hospital bed, reclining wheelchair, special walker. Thank heavens mom and dad's is set up for handicap. Makes life a lot easier.

I will going into details later. Got home from church and have been doing stuff on computer to get ready for Epiphany. I have to take a lot of stuff over to mom's since I am staying there to take care of Liz.

Liz can't get out of bed without brace on. Also needs help as night. Friday night I spent the night. Liz took her pain medication at 5:45 pm and then fell asleep about 9:30 pm. She slept until 5 am. I got up 4 times just to make sure she was breathing. She had NEVER gone that long with meds before. Now she is averaging 5 hours, which is great. We have been decreasing the medication and will continue.

We have the first doctor's appt on Wednesday. Should be an interesting trip. We plan to put her wheelchair in mom and dad's van. So far she has only sat in wheelchair for 20 or so minutes. Need to practice more the next 3 days.

Keep the prayers coming.
