There's no place like home!

Words cannot describe how wonderful it felt today to take Mom home to Napa!!



Mom with Dr. Cheng, reviewing discharge instructions

 Dr. Cheng was one of the many wonderful Resident Doctors at Mt. Zion that oversaw Mom's daily care.  She, along with Dr. Burke, Dr. Pross and Dr. Sidel were absolutely the kindest, most attentive physicians a patient could ever ask for.  We all appreciated their diligence in seeing that Mom received the very best of care.



Mom and Jamie - one of the excellent nurses on 5 North

 Mom had many, many outstanding nurses during her stay on 5 North, as well as in ICU.  Today, Jamie was on duty for her discharge.  These men and women became like family to us over the course of 24 or so days at Mr. Zion.  Thank you, thank you, thank you - you all are exceptional caregivers and we will never, ever forget you!!

Mom and her surgeon - Dr. William Ryan, MD

Without a doubt - Dr. Ryan - has become a very, very special friend to Mom.  She has always been able to bond with her physicians and Dr. Ryan has definitely become one of her all-time favorites.  This man, on his own time while on vacation - continued to visit Mom in the hospital following her surgery.  He stopped in today before she was discharged to give her those special added words of encouragement.  Thank you Dr. Ryan - we all wish you and your bride-to-be many, many years of happiness!

She is FINALLY home!

Now this is napping!!
