A Good Visit with Mom

Mom, Dad, and I just had a great visit tonight at the hospital.  She was sitting up and eating spaghetti and a little bit of salad when I walked into her room.  She was visiting with Kay and I know she loved hearing about her recent vacation.  After dinner we put on some "walking clothes" and some tennis shoes and went for a walk.  Mom made it up the hall and back!  So impressed! Awesome job Mom! :)

Mom seems to be running a fever just during the night.  We are not sure why that is, but at least she isn't running a fever during the day of a 102-104 like last week.  She is getting her wound bandages changed daily and that can be painful for her.  The nursing staff usually gives her pain medicine so if her phone is off she is probably sleeping the medication off.  Mom is still having pain in her stomach and on Sunday they did a scan to see if there is more infection in her abdomen because of all her discomfort.  We do not know the results of her scan, but hope to find out tomorrow morning.  

We are hopeful that Mom can go home sometime this week.  There was mention today of her getting to go home on Wednesday.  I think we will know more when we visit with the doctors tomorrow morning.  Mom is really motivated to go to her family reunion this coming weekend in Danville and we hope to take her there.   Her spirits remain positive and she has had a great nurse the past three days.  Here's to hoping Mom can come home this week! :)
