Well, she's back. And sassy as ever. Mom got to her room around 7:15 last night. They got her settled and she wanted to eat. They did not want her to eat. But Mom usually gets what she wants. So gingerale and saltines later they were satisfied she could hack it. We took a walk around the ward, came back for some piquant apple sauce and graham crackers followed by a raspberry ice entremezzo. They went ahead and brought her a "box lunch" consisting of a decent turkey sandwich, a sad looking apple and a midget can of diet gingerale, which in her inimitable way, she Sally-ed up into something else. I was satisfied she was her own self and left around 10pm. I'm off to check in on her now. If all goes well, she comes home today!

About Me
- Mother Madrigal
- United States
- I am currently working for a non-profit in Kenya.I manage it from Boston and go there 2 or 3 times a year. If you are a sentient creature you can already figure out it has its challenges. And for those who read Tales of the City the nom de plume fits perfectly. Six years ago I went to an AIDS Conference in Addis Ababba for a friend of mine. I met some amazing African women at the conference who asked me to come to their villages to teach about AIDS prevention, or to send them supplies. I returned to Africa 6 months later and started a feeding program with the help of one donor. The organization has morphed and changed, we have gone from 24 children to 2000 children. It's been an amazing journey and now you can be part of the next chapter.

Great news! This put a big fat smile on my face…I just visualized the ‘boxed lunch’ scene…
I am thrilled to hear it all went well and she is back to being her fabulous self. I am just picturing her - slightly annoyed with this small interference with her travel and social schedule.
Get well soon, Susan!
