While we were there Mom received another "air bed" to help with bed sores and also let her rest more comfortably. The nurses started Mom on a blood infusion to increase her red blood count and to help her blood clot more. She is still getting an antibiotic through an IV. Her white blood cell count remains really high. Her right arm is still swollen and they will not check her blood pressure or make any sticks in that arm.
Mom made several comments while we were visiting with her that the hospital was where she wanted to be right now. We are unsure of how long Mom will stay, but it looks like she will stay in the hospital for the rest of the week.
Her spirits and patience remain high. She has a great view of the mountains from her room and when we left she was enjoying one of her all time favorite movies, White Christmas, and she was ready to rest for the night.
Thanks to everyone for your continued thoughts and support!
We hope you are enjoying time with family and friends this week! :)

Dear Beth,
I am sure it is terribly frustrating to be back in the hospital when most years this has been the busiest day of the year for you. Enjoy a long-deserved rest from the hectic pace, look forward to the New Year and all its potential as you progress with your healing.
Love and prayers,
Marilynn
