Thanks Shirley. It's really been stressful since my mom had her stroke, not knowing what other damage had been done, what was temporary, what may be permanent, not knowing where she'd end up living. We're really hoping that she will be ok in her own home but also know that it may not work out either. So many things to think about for her safety and disabilities. But she's my mom and I'm glad that she's finally gotten her wish to go back home, something we had never thought was going to be a possibility. We were never given any hope in that direction, but my mom is a trooper, much stronger than I am.

Is your grandpa still living? It is a lot to look after someone after a stroke, but we are sharing in the responsibilities, so it doesn't fall on the hands of one. It's also a labour of love, a deep love we all have for my mom.
