On the Road to Recovery

As I blogged here, my grandmother suffered a heart attack a few weeks ago. She is now doing remarkably well and has been responding to therapy. Because of her positive response to treatment and therapy, she was already sent home. But the doctor said that she would require 24-hour care. Someone has to be with her at all times (24/7).

This is not really an issue since all of my dad’s siblings are there to take care of her. Besides, sending her to an elders’ home that provides hospice care, such as the San Antonio assisted living home care, is not an option. If it were, it would definitely be the last alternative. But everyone is willing to look after my grandmother’s needs. Suggestions were brought up on how to go about it. Schedules were set to make sure that someone will be there to assist her 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Everyone may have to sacrifice some of their time but none of them minds. After all, she’s their mother, our grandmother.

I really hope and pray that she gets well soon.
