Monday am

Mom is doing so well this morning. She slept okay..not great but she did get some rest. She said she doesn't feel as uptight today. The doctor said that would go away 3-5 days after the stroke...so it has!!! She walked in the hallway this morning with the physical therapists and felt like freshening up so she walked over to the sink (with my assistance) and brushed her teeth.
She said that she was up for her friends from the condo to come visit this morning for a little while! This is the first day that she has been wanting visitors!!! The audiologist repaired one of her hearing aids this morning but she may be needing new ones. She is worried about the expense but I think we could all go together and get her some new ones.
Her spirits are high and she is doing all of her exercises so that she can "get out of this joint".
Haven't seen her doctor yet this morning, but the resident explained that they took her off the cumidin because her blood was TOO thin on that and the heprin. They will re-evaluate today to see if she can start on that again.
Dad took a walk on the beach again this morning and is doing MUCH better since Mom has been improving. I think his stress level is much lower with all of the help.
Thank you for all of your prayers. HE is answering!!!
