A special thank you to all who cared for Mom at Ravenwood. This includes those on E Wing, skilled, D wing, dietary, speech therapy and especially the physical and occupational therapist. They never gave up on her. She went from not being able to sit up after four surgeries, infections, and lengthy hospital stays, to being able to walk. That allowed us to bring her home last September. We are so grateful for the last 11 months with her. "The leaves are brown, come tumbling down. Remember...September in the rain." She said this a lot, even in her sleep.
