In April 2016, Kelly was hospitalized after a seizure, and was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer. On September 17th, 2017, Kelly passed away at home, surrounded by a houseful of people crying and hugging and laughing and eating. This blog has traced our journey through this cancer, and will continue for at least a few weeks as we begin grieving the loss of this amazing lady.

She's home
Ahhh.... it is a huge relief to be home. Mom doesn't look sick now that she is wearing normal clothes and walking around.
We are looking forward to the fact that tonight we can all stay with mom and sleep horizontally! Every other night someone got to stay with mom, but didn't get to sleep horizontally. The recliners they bring into the room for a family member staying in the hospital are quite comfortable, but they aren't quite a bed.
As we are checking in with people, I just want everyone to know that after people see or talk to mom, they feel better. So, even if you haven't gotten a chance to talk to her on the phone or see her in person, know that she is probably doing better than you imagine.

Aww, looking good. There's no place like home (house and family).
