Better All the Time

Another good day yesterday :)

Mom was sitting in the dining room area when I arrived last night.  She was happily chatting with the LPNs, Nurses, residents and anyone else who would chat with her.  I asked her if she'd like to visit quietly in her room and of course, she said she would.

We wheeled into her room and the two of us visited until Jason arrived.  She was thrilled to see Jay.  The three of us visited for quite a while.  One of Mom's care team came in and advised us that Mom's getting up out of bed at night and wondering out to the main area just to chat.  Uh oh...they're concerned she might fall.  After all, she's been confined to either her Geri-chair or a bed for six weeks.  I have a feeling she's wanting to get up and walk now that she has that freedom again and now that she's feeling so much better physically.

While we were chatting, Mom was chiming in and quite often making sense.  Occasionally, she'd flub up her sentences and she'd do the blah, blah, blah thing with her tongue.  I suspect she KNOWS what she wants to say but her mouth isn't cooperating with her brain yet.  Hopefully, that will improve with time as well.

Other than that, there's not too much to tell...I'll post again later.  Looks like things are heading in the right direction.  She's been awake all day for three days in a row.  Hopefully, that's a good thing...

Thanks for stopping by.  :)
