So, this evening, they moved my Mom upstairs, out of the ICU! YAY! They have stopped the TPN (intravenous nourishment), and started giving her a formula through her feeding tube. If she tolerates that well, then on to some real food, I hope!
One drawback, she has a phone in this room. So far, since I left at 7:00 she has had the nurses call me 3 times. And, she doesn't even want me...She wants to talk to my Uncle, actually, she wants him to come down. I still think it is our old friend nicotine rearing it's ugly head. I didn't get a chance to talk to the doc today, so tomorrow, I will see if we can get that thing reinstated. So, we will just have to see how it all works out.
Dad might have caught a bug that has been running through the nursing home. He seemed to be feeling better today, and he doesn't have a fever or anything, so hopefully it was a fluke.
I am looking forward to tomorrow morning, in hopes that we can see what the next steps are with Mom. But, I am also so grateful that it was not just my imagination that she was getting better...She really was!
Still not out of the woods, but the trees are beginning to thin out a little...I will take it!
Much love!
