I visited Friday. Mom and Dad seem to be adjusting to the new normal.
Mom is at home, and seems to get around fine around the main floor of the house without a walker now.
She is much thinner than she used to be, but seems at a healthy weight.
She looks a bit confused at times. Mom's understanding is she was very sick, and still recovering. She understands she still has issues with her short term memory.
It seems like Mom's recovery is slowing, and not getting much better. Topics we discussed two weeks ago were new to her. She also did not remember seeing some of her visitors while she was in rehab.
She does appreciate the good care with which Dad is taking care of her, and the cards and letters.
Dad is (maybe) starting to learn that the things that Mom says incorrectly do not always need to be corrected. I think that aspect will be a source of frustration for them both for a while.
A wonderful gift: Mom was able to have a normal day for Christmas.
Mom is eating normally, has normal conversations, and is able to get around by herself with a walker. She admits to having bad short-term memory, but it does not seem to be consistently bad.
Normality, and lack of anything special, is a wonderful gift that is not appreciated until it has been missing for a while.
Merry Christmas!

Mom is back home!
Mom is eating normal food, and sleeping at home for the first time tonight since 10/12/2013.
Dad is somewhat over protective and nervous, but I can tell he is very glad Mom is home.
Mom is also very glad to be home.
A nurse is to visit tomorrow (Saturday 12/07) to evaluate how Mom is doing, and if anything else is needed for her.

Results and data from a small test of phone GPS navigation app data usage
Off-board, cloud based cell phone GPS navigation takes around 1 to 15 megs per trip, with wide variation based on pre-caching, length of route, and other unknown factors.
A limited test on iOS shows Apple Maps and Google Maps to both have under 0.5 megabyte data usage for most navigation steps.
It seems on iOS, Apple Maps has a less data usage compared to Google Maps. However, it is not a large enough difference, in my opinion, to affect most users.
Scout by Telenav has consistently higher usage, but again it is debatable if over a month if it would add up to enough to affect any users.
The main item to note is if a user wants to save mobile data usage, preplanning and letting system precache data while on a WiFi connection is a worthwhile way to save a megabyte or two of data usage per trip.
