It's nice to be home. Kuba and I are celebrating our 2 year anniversary a few days early, given the current situation in California. Last night, our friends had a party for us, which was great. My friends are incredibly supportive, and it re-energized me to be with them. All of them are caring, loving and fun, and I so appreciate them for creating an evening for us, where we could "escape" a bit.
During the party, I received a message from Geoff that mom was doing much better. When we spoke later, he put me on speaker phone, so that I could talk to mom. Yippee. I got a message from Heather this afternoon that mom has been breathing on her own again today (trach still in, but ventilator off). The next step is to cover the trach opening, so that she can talk. I can't wait!
Seeing her Tuesday when I get back to California will be such a different experience. I'm already overwhelmed (in a good way) to think of her talking back to me. How I've missed her voice and her laughter the past 3 weeks.
Until then, I'll dig up all the summer plants to get the yard ready for fall, spend plenty of time with Kuba and Star, our cat, and add more good music to my iPod to have ready for mom when I get back. Maybe she'll be ready to sing along.
love,
jennifer
