Where to start....
The day went so very well. Hugs were had as we left Marshhood and headed for home.
We arrived in Farmington to find Mark already there with balloons and a welcome home banner and candles lit. Many tears were shed as we entered the house, seeing the bed in the living room etc. It was reality to Mom of what we had to change to get her home and what her limitations are. We settled in quickly and of course Mom wanted McDonalds for lunch so this is what we had. Dad was very busy getting meds in order and loving being home also. Mark gave Mom a hair cut, cutting the wisps of hair that apparently were not going to fall out. Mom had a nap and when she woke Miles and Chandler were there to greet her, more tears. Mark went to camp to get the cat, now everyone is where they belong. Dinner was had and Mom and Dad seemed pretty settled for the night. I have wonderful parents. I love you. We have a wonderful family and terrific friends. Thank you all
