Hello Friends and Family,
We have news!
Mom has been moved to
City View Care Center located at
5801 Bryant Irvin Road
Ft. Worth, TX 76132
817-346-3030
City View is a nursing home that has an Express Recovery Unit for Pulmonary Rehabilitation. Our fervent hope is that this will be a VERY short stay and that Mom will be able to return home on Friday, July 2nd! Yesterday, I wrote out a goal sheet and told mom that we intend to have a family get together at her home on the 4th of July, so she had better work hard this week so she can be at home for her party! Brad said we are going to have fireworks ~ oh dear!!!! He is such a kid when it comes to the 4th of July, ha ha ha, hopefully I can convince him to stick w/ sparklers!
Mom was moved to City View on Friday, June 25th in the afternoon. It is a nice place with a large private room. So far our only complaints are about the food & furnishings. The food was sub par on Friday night and Saturday ~ probably because we had just arrived and did not get to fill out menu request forms. Thankfully, I did ask for the menu sheets on Saturday night which we discovered is when you should fill them in for the entire week. So, hopefully, the food will improve, Mom seemed more pleased on Sunday. It is still not as good as LifeCare, which not only offered 3 large meals a day, but also an evening snack. Greg and I are supplementing what they are serving. Another very positive note ~ Mom has an excellent appetite!
As far as the furniture, 1 bed and 2 arm chairs. Mom had become very attached to her recliners at LifeCare and at Harris CICU. The arm chairs are just not very comfortable for sitting and Mom has NO intention of staying in bed during the day!
If you remember mom in your prayers this week, please pray that our merciful Lord would strengthen her legs, strengthen her lungs enough that she will not have to go home on oxygen and give her the confidence she needs to return home!
This has been a long trial for our mom and family. We could have never walked through this time without the prayers, love, and support of so many friends. For this we are eternally grateful. We know that our Heavenly Father carried our entire family through this process. We praise His name for His mercy and grace in healing our mom. I will update this blog a couple more times and will for sure let everyone know when Mom is able to return home.
With much affection and gratitude ~
In His Embrace,
Jean Brown's family
