Good Day

Mom just keeps on keepin' on. What a trooper. She was pretty pooped today, but every visitor to her room, including the nurses and nurse assistants, were greeted with a good firm hand squeeze and a smile. She even winked at a few people and raised her eyebrows. She is still a little confused--most troubling is that she still thinks Matt is her favorite son.

Everyone who knows Mom knows that she likes to stay active. Being confined to a bed is not her favorite thing, but she is keeping up her patience and seems to continually reassure us that things are going to be OK. She really just wants to get out of bed. She has been able to reach her face to scratch and feel the many tubes she is hooked up to, but seems to be more coherent and understanding since she is no longer trying to pull them out.

WE LOVE YOU MOM!
