Exciting News!!

We are having another great morning with Mom.  Dr. McCoy is very encouraged and all her numbers and blood levels are normal.  He even suggested that Mom can be transferred back to the regular hospital floor and out of ICU.  We are currently waiting on an open bed, so it may not be today, but it will happen soon.  Everyone is excited about this news to say the least! :) 

Mom just finished her morning routine with the Physical Therapists.  We were so proud of her when she sat up in bed, stood up, and then shifted into the chair.  She showed even more improvements from yesterday morning.  It is amazing to see Mom work her arms and her legs almost completely on her own.  

We will continue to encourage Mom to EAT EAT EAT today.  She had some cereal for breakfast and a couple bits of a banana.  We will still try the Ensure shakes with Mom, but I think we might have to think about other high protein foods, or at least another favor. 

We are very encouraged and excited with all the great news today - lets keep it coming! :)
