Lastest word on the street!!

To all :

Grandma Ruby is being discharged to the nursing home in lowville on Saturday - according to Aunt Janice and Sonya :)

The second cathetar seemed to be successfull (as the 1st was not). She will most likely be at the nursing home for a few weeks for rehabilitation before she may be allowed back to her apartment. From what I understand about diverticulitis - IF her body seals off the hole in her intestines we will not have a repeat of the last two weeks. It is also my understanding that the abscess are not filling back up - ie they are healing - BUT she is also still currently on the catheter which is still draining (not a lot but a little - I was there and saw for myself on wednesday). So hopefuly with continued antibiotics her hole will seal itself off.

All in all I guess we are out of the woods for now - but only time will tell with her diverticulites. Hell she's 80!!! What a life she has lead. Only time will tell with all of us truth be told.

I will post more if more info is presented. Hope all is well with everyone!!
