Continuing with my father's health issues, he got home from hospital
the day before yesterday.  My mother was quite nervous about this, but
luckily my brother from England was here for a 2 week holiday and is
with them for a couple more days before heading home.

This whole episode has been an interesting exercise.  My family is far
from dysfunctional, but we have some family members with very strong
opinions (on everything), then there are others who don't really
communicate much.  Despite our differences, this crisis has pulled us
together and forced us to get over our differences to achieve some
good outcomes.  

After speaking with some nursing staff, it appears that a lot of
families can't do this.  So I think we deserve a little pat on the
back.
