Mom is home

On this day 4 October 2009, mom is back home at half past two, after 7 weeks of hospital stay, and two visits to the ICU.

She is able to move her right arm and fingers, though her left arm is still weak. She is unable to walk, talk, or recognise us. It will be a long road to recovery and I am prepared for it.

In the photo, she is holding a stalk of toy sunflower in her right hand (I bought it for her to use as a pointer), and the teddy bear in her left. She is playful with the sunflower.

She is back in her own bedroom. I have got the adjustable bed, an air-bubble mattress and a wheel-chair. She is able to sit on the wheel-chair now, and I intend to bring her out from time to time to get some fresh air.

She is a strong woman, and I will learn to emulate her strength.
