Mom is doing better today. They put in a catheter to keep the urine from touching that area so hopefully it will help with healing. Everyone at the hospital was terrific. They're helping us get home health for when she comes home. She'll still need wound care plus will help with other care as well. She's staying upstairs for a while. If she can get back to functioning on her own well enough then she can go back downstairs. I'm honestly not sure if she'll be able to at all.

The support means so much and I feel better after getting some much needed rest.
