Mom continues to improve! The nurse said she didn't sleep well last nite, but she had a big morning and was settled in for a nap when I left at 12:30. We can't get back in until 4:30 now, so hopefully she sleeps most of that time.

I found her this morning with the bed shaped into a recliner, how cool! She sat up all morning! She talks when she wants to. She loves to read her cards. She feeds herself. She ate 3 pieces of bread dipped into gravy for lunch. She said she was wolfing it down, and she was! She also ate applesauce and jello and drank applejuice, then decided she probably should stop.

Sara and Anita visited while Randy and Kevin went to the annual hamfest at the Coliseum. Uncle Bob and Anthony stopped in after their jaunt at the hamfest. Ryan and family should be arriving any time to spend the rest of the afternoon.

I noticed mom had doodled last evening on a note pad. She had done some mathematical equations and written Ryan's name a lot. Think she was missing her baby.

Her doctor's inform us she is doing really well. She's getting good care.

Rex is struggling. He's home more than he is at the hospital. If you are in the area, stop in at the apartment. He needs encouragement. We'll share more details next week after his further testing.

Keep lifting all our names to our Lord. I feel VERY equipped by my Lord right now. Praise You, Father.

  1. Thanks Ronna for adding the visitor counter.
    Uncle Bob said mom read his card over and over.
    I encourage all to send cards. They give her something to read, look at, ponder and remember.
    (Ya, that includes me)

    Ronna, inform us where best to send cards as mom may be oving from day to day. Should we send to hospital, you or Rex?
    Thanks
