Miriam recovered pretty well - mostly.
She still can't walk well and she still wears the diapers. That is OK on both levels and she is not upset about it either. But since she cannot really walk there is no reason to take her back to my little house. She has a terrible time going down the steps in the house and not much easier at the little house. At night the 150 foot long walk is terrifying to her.
Tonight, I fixed her stew in the little house while daughter was here, then I brought it over and we ate together. Daughter has to look after another client in the evening, and the family is on their own for food.
So that worked well.
We will let her stay in the house and we will take turns looking after her or being with her. Tonight daughter 2 is here and will keep an eye on Miriam. Daughter 2 is an RN, but she has spent her career in the birthing areas not in the old ladies department (see how un-medical I am!).
We will keep Miriam here at daughters house as long as we can. No one knows how it will work out, or when it will, but we will do our best as long as we can.

Saying a prayer for you and my husband's family. A beloved uncle of 92 had a stroke last night. We never know how things will turn out, yet we hope and pray for the best.
Thinking of your family, Susan
Sorry about your uncle, Susan. I am so glad you had him for so long. I had 4 uncles and they all died fairly young.
Daughter 3's father-in-law lived with his children in New Jersey. The big storm hit them and they lost power and heat. He was 96, he got cold without any heat he could not get warm again and he died.
Life is precious and ever so finite.
