Today was my Aunt Nancy's 75th birthday. We had been planning a surprise party for her for the past couple of months. On this past Tuesday she was hospitalized with congestive heart failure. We had a 5 tired birthday cake ordered for her, invitations sent, people planning on coming in from out of state. All week the party had been on and off again and again. On Friday they decided to discharge her, but felt that she needed to be rehabed at the local nursing home. Fortunately a friend of mine was the social worker doing the discharge and got it written in that she should be given an LOA from the nursing home so that she could come to the party. My aunt's son picked her up and told her that he was taking her out to my sister's house for cake and ice cream. When he turned right instead of left she knew something was up, but had no idea how extensive it was until she walked in. That's my aunt in the black and green. My mom, her last surviving sibling is in the blue on her right. And my cousin's husband is following behind.
