Wow,the last few days have been a bear here. Have been trying to get Maggie back home, but the old devil has been interfering and trying to wreck Maggie's home coming.
I'll try to explain, so bear with me, I groweth weary.
Last Sunday Maggie and I felt we had enough of the nursing home, many things going amuck there. So we put into motion
her leaving for home ASAP.
We got ahold of the Social Worker, telling her of our plan. (so far so good). She would make the arrangements for the hosp bed, wheel chair, and all the other things Maggie would need. Including health care and rehab folks to care for her at home. (sound good so far huh).
I pointed out Maggie's sudden excessive coughing and still the left elbow swollen. O'k that was Sunday, the next day I visited her in the early morning as usual, the cough was more pronounced and non stop. Soooo, they gave her some cough medicine (after consulting with the DR.)
Next day she had to go to dialyses so I returned home, as it is an all day event.
Around noon, received a call from nursing home, telling me the Dr wanted to run a test for to check her heart. (routine) except the hosp only did the test in ER. OK,no alarm bells going off. Just a monitor test. She would take the test after dialysis then go to ER, then return to the nursing home. in the aft6ernoon. Promising that they would call me the results right after the test.
Eleven thirty last night, they called and told me that Maggie was admitted back in the hosp. Seems she has pneumonia. That kind of news keeps you awake fast. Time for more prayer.
Morning came and I was in Maggie's hosp room. She seemed just fine to me. We talked and she mentioned they were coming to get her ready for dialysis around 8AM. Hmmmm.
Time to speak to the nurse and ask why the dialysis again. Asking if it was a bit unusual for that to be done daily? .......Surprise.... she will go tomorrow (Friday).
Time for me to go to the nursing home and check on arrangements for Maggie departure tomorrow (Friday) Insisted that Maggie will not see the humor, if she came home and had to sleep on the floor. (hint to them) Explained that it was not good to unset a Marine.
Looks like she will have her bed early in the morning before she comes home. So with God's help everything will be ready for her return home in the afternoon.
Gosh, I done wore my fingers down two joints with all this typing. I just know Our Lord heard your prayers and answered them. Thank you all.
Oh yeah, Maggie is back in the nursing home, no mention of pneumonia. So she will be home tomorrow or Saturday.
Thank you all,
Dabearone (bernie)
Blessings to you and Maggie

Thanks for the update.
I watched beautiful fireworks in Philadelphia after the Phillie-Padre game on the 5th and couldn't help thinking about Maggie. They played the Marine song guarding the street of heaven as the fireworks blazed. It was quite moving. Prayers coming your way.
Thanks for the update. Praying for you and your family.
