Got some sun

Just talked to Lou. Mom sat out on the sun deck for a little while today so she could get a little sun. Her spirits are high.
She didn't sleep well last night because she was worried about her cough and being on the Coumadin. She started coughing after they played dominoes...then she was concerned that she would start coughing up blood. She couldn't relax her body or her mind. Lou said that her blood pressure was NOT high today when the nurse took it. That is good news because they were going to have to change her meds if it was high again today. Still haven't heard about her INR reading from this morning...though the nurse they have sounds awesome. Dad said that she was thinking about Mom all weekend and came by first thing this morning so that she would have the results this afternoon. Apparently the insurance doesn't cover the machine that reads the level right there...so the nurse is "working the system" for them. It sounds like she really cares about Mom. Dad also said that she is very easy to talk to.
Lou said that Mom breezed through the occupational therapy today...and the therapist said that she was going to bring her some harder stuff next time. Things that she was having a hard time with last week...she isn't having difficulty with this week!
