First I would like to thank those that replied to my question "Tell mom
or not?" The advice given was very very helpful.
The family got their mom checked in yesterday and I'm sure some of you
can relate when I tell you how hard it was to tell her that she was
there just to have the doctor check on her, knowing that she would not
be leaving.
When the staff kept telling her that she needed to stay to have the
Doctors check on her she keep reassuring them that she would come back
in a couple of days to see the doctor. (Little did she know)

We stayed for about 20 minutes then the specialist told us to sneak out
while they walked her around. It was a little funny as we couldn't
figure out how to get out of the complex as we had gone out her bedroom
door to the inner campus of this complex. We walked around the corner of
one building and saw a gate with a keypad and was walking towards it
when the specialist and my mother-in-law came walking out of a door
right by the gate. The specialist looked at us like "What are you
doing?" (We found out that there was a gate right by her bedroom door
that we missed) We commented that we were looking around the grounds and
then went off in another direction and once out of sight sneaked out. In
the car my wife was pretty upset but we know she's going to be taken
care of so that was some relief.

My wife and I live out of state but I do a lot of traveling back here so
I should be able to see her every-now-and-then. There are 2 daughters
that live close by with family that are in the area also so we feel good
about her getting company.

Well again thanks to all of you who helped get us through this stage of
her life and I'm sure we'll be asking more questions as time progresses.
