[posted by Predrag, notes from emails and phone conversations with Ed, Antonello and Mimi, sorry if garbled]
Barbara is settling into the new routine at the Village Nursing Home. She has a nice private room and is undergoing rehabilitation therapy (speech, occupational, physical). Her condition is not improving - the first day she has not been speaking, and it is uncertain whether she always recognizes people around her. This could be due to the stress of moving.
Ed has hired three caregivers (a mother and her two daughters) who provide 24/7 care by her side, and will also do that if Barbara is moved back to the apartment. This takes enormous load off Ed and Mimi's shoulders, as up until now they tried to be with Barbara through her waking hours, and that has pretty much prevented Ed from taking part in any other life's chores and pleasures.
