Ron continues to improve, and tomorrow they will start changing his IV medications to pill form. Dr. Couriel didn't want us to have to do IV antibiotics at home, so Ron will likely be discharged on Friday. That way they can observe him a couple more days, and the home plan for a visiting nurse and at home physical therapy can be in place. The cardiologist has discharged him from their service, and the heart monitor is gone. He has a very slight heart rhythm irregularity that barely falls out of the normal range, but it was aggravated by the respiratory distress. No intervention is needed.
Ron's mother passed away today. She has been living in an adult foster home for four months following 3 falls, hospitalization, and rehab center for a month. It was not unexpected but still hard to hear. Ron and I had visited her last Wednesday morning from AA before Ron's doctor appointment that day. I am so glad that we made the trip.

Thanks to all of you. Because Esther was a perfectionist, she liked things "just so". I think that made her decline more difficult in someways for her and us. She raised two amazinging sons.
