My husband’s grandmother was recently placed in a nursing home. Her health has been slowly deteriorating over the years, and she’s now got a few issues that can’t be taken care of at home. It was a hard decision for my mother-in-law to make about her own mom, but it’s really for the best.
We went to visit for the first time last weekend and were encouraged by what we saw. Unlike most of the other residents, my husband’s grandmother wasn’t hooked up to a respirator, portable oxygen concentrator, or a monitor of any kind. It made us feel good to see that, comparatively speaking, she was doing pretty well.
Anyway, we’ll keep visiting as often as we can, and we hope that her status remains the same!
