Mom is doing very well this morning. She said she slept better...still woke up a few times...but she had some weird dreams...so she must have been sleeping good. She has already had about 2 hours of physical therapy this morning and will probably have another hour and a half this afternoon. The nurse said she thought mom was doing great and might get out of here by Friday. However, the student doctor said that they need to get her INR level (the thinness of her blood) regulated with the cumidin before she is released. Today her level was still too high to put her back on the cumidin. They will check again tomorrow. That may prevent her from leaving Friday. We'll know more tomorrow about that.
Dad has been walking every morning with his friend Paul, but he has been getting tired out much faster than usual. He got to play some dominoes with his friends last night and I think that was a much needed mental break. I can tell that he is really ready to have some sense of normalcy with Mom out of the hospital (though he doesn't want to rush her out before it's safe for her). He is just missing his lovely bride taking good care of him.
I will be leaving tomorrow night and Jim will be staying til next Tuesday to help with the transition back home.
