Out of ICU...

This weekend Aya and I went to check out 3 living assisted facilities for Aya's mom. 1 was in Fullerton and 2 were in Orange. I had no idea what to expect, but all 3 were depressing.

Aya's mom was moved out of ICU on Friday into a general room. Due to health care insurance, the insurance company wants Aya's mom moved to a living assisted facility on Monday.

This was the first time in 2 weeks that I went to visit Aya's mom. Her face looked better as the swelling from the surgery was down and she looked pretty normal again. Unfortunately, she spent the day sleeping. I also did not see her move her right arm and right leg. I also heard her speak and it was more like a whisper but you could understand what she was saying. She did moan and cry a lot.

So with all that, it just doesn't seem like she is ready for assisted living...but I guess she doesn't need to be taking up a hospital bed either. Looks like our temporary plan is to have Aya move to the Fullerton house while I take care of JT.

It is about 50-50 now that JT takes off his pants to watch TV. Here he is "with" pants this time...just chillin.

Happy Monday!

HAHAHA! where does that kid learn the pose from??

it's too bad that there really aren't any great assisted living facilities closer to here either...that would at least be a little easier on you guys! let me know if there's anything I can do! (no, i will not give you a trip to cancun...or give you my car when I die)

jen-

i dunno where he learns it from. maybe grandpa. i suppose i put my hands behind my head but not that often.

i know he takes his pants off when watching tv because i take my pants off when i get home.

um, how about you building a light rail transportation from culver city to fullerton to orange to pasadena. that would help us out. can you have that done by this friday?
