Last night was encouraging in that mom slept well and her numbers looked good. She didn't seem to gag on her tubes when stirred. I am glad she is just not getting worse as this was the first day where that was the case since getting to the hospital. They still have not found any bacteria that could be causing the infection accompanying her pneumonia and that is baffling. Just before we left last night, we saw her perk up and even open both eyes and seemed to be aware of us. She signaled with her hand that she wanted something and was able to answer yes and no to questions by moving her head. She told us she didn't hurt but wanted to be turned. She could tell the nurse when adjusting her bed that it was high enough. She could tell us that she wanted some moisture on her lips. That was so good to see. I hope she continues as the doctors will be updating us this morning around 9:30.
Thanks to everyone having her in your prayers... and for the visits and flowers. She still cannot have visitors yet but hopefully the will be able to wean her from her ICU prison in the next day or so.

Craig,
ReplyDeleteThis is so great. Excellent pictures of Mom and the family. Nicely done!
Our family is too very supportive and optomistic on the outcome. Mom is a fighter and will bounce back.
