Mom did so great today! She was asking about people and talking to us all day. I think her brain is a bit over stimulated thinking about what all has happened to her. She was out of it a lot yesterday...but she was alert and awake all day today. Please pray that she sleeps well tonight. She is in a regular room and doesn't have a roommate yet but will probably get one as soon as a new patient arrives in the hospital. Dad is hanging in there and was glad to see Mom like she was today. He even went for a walk on the beach with his friend. A much needed break.
She is off of the oxygen and the blood pressure cuff is off of her, so she is feeling a little less "wired". She has been getting out of bed to eat and sitting in a chair. She has been using her left side a lot more today than yesterday.
She LOVED the pictures that were sent. I put them in an album and she was looking at them all so intently. She wanted to keep looking at them. She recognized everyone!
Her appetite hasn't fully returned, so pray that tomorrow she will be able to eat normally. She is still coughing up stuff...but it didn't seem as green today. Continue to pray that she doesn't get pnemonia. Her heart rate was about 102 most of the day which is much better than it has been. The doctor said they won't even think about shocking her heart again for a few weeks...and that could be an outpatient procedure if it does have to happen.
I realize that this post is a bit scatterbrained. Please forgive me for that. I am just writing my thoughts from the day. Mom appreciates everyones prayers so much. Thank you all for praying. He is answering our prayers!!!
