A week ago, Monday, had the ambulance take DW to the hospital with what turned out to be right lobe pneumonia. 2 1/2 days in and got her right back home. Week later, she's made almost a complete recovery. Pleased with the nursing she received; CNAs needed prodding though on skills for 1 on 1 feedings, fall risk precautions and they let me pitch in on feeding, changing, etc. Feel like we dodged a bullet. Very thankful.
