Mom Update, December 12, 2012, Wednesday

Hi,
Just had to share a story... Mom was in the hospital as of this evening and she was being discharged. My husband and I looked at two facilities yesterday, a place in Commack and a place in Brentwood. The place in Brentwood was our first pick because we weren't thinking we could truly rehab her twice in a lifetime. We looked at Maria Regina and it was very peaceful and prayerful and thinking she would be there for long term care that's what we wanted, for her to be peaceful BUT God had another idea and the hospital released her as a rehab patient (Which is crazy! due to the fact that she wasn't truly responding to therapy the way we had hoped or the way the PT thought or could justify - just a day earlier we were told that Rehab wasn't an option) Gurwin took her as a rehab patient! And who is the first person I meet at the rehab facility but the head nurse who came to check mom in. She started to ask questions and I told her the story...the whole story. She looked at me and said, "I did the same thing with my mother." I couldn't believe it. She took out her phone to show me a picture of her mom in a hospital bed on a vent with her head bandaged. She told me her family also rehabilitated her mom from a brain tumor...four times! She had four brain surgeries and each time brought her back.She then showed me a picture of her mom in a party dress with her three daughters. They taught her to walk and talk again never leaving her side. Sometimes we think we know what is best for us, or our loved ones and it isn't what is best. God knows what is best and he will put the people in your life to help make all things possible.
BELIEVE AND HAVE FAITH!!!

We are going to try again. If you want to be part of the miracle and have time to spare let us know and you can work with her. Spread the word.
