Barbara was so distressed this past week-end that we decided to bring her home a week earlier than we had planned originally. We got in touch with all those involved; we met and discussed at length the finite details of transferring Barb from the rehab center with the hospice nurse this AM, signed all the papers and brought her home. The hospice team including her primary physician will be handling her care, and have begun operations and will contact us for more specific hands-on. The Parkinson medications regimen which had been reduced by about 70% some weeks ago has been maintained at the same level. Leah has arranged to take time off from work to care for her mother who appears to sleep over twenty hours a day and has difficulty keeping her eyes open even to greet close friends who have visited. We'll just keep going from day to day.
