Another Exciting Day...

Mom keeps improving each and every day.  Today was another exciting day as she finally got taken off of the respirator and got all her breathing tubes removed.  HOORAY!!!!  She still has a ways to go on the road to recovery, but it's amazing how much improvement is made once the breathing tubes are removed.  Mom is finally able to talk and oh...is she ever talking. :)

Her sodium levels are continuing to lower, but are still a couple of days from being in the normal range.  They'll do a digestion test tomorrow morning to see if she's able to start eating food.  She's also pretty stiff and not able to get out of bed and move around...but that should start to change as she'll start working with the physical therapist.  Needless to say...she's not looking forward to that! 

We're so excited for the all the progress mom has made over the past nine days and know it wouldn't have been made without all the prayers and support from you all.  Thank you from the bottom of our heart! 

Love you all,
Marcia
