Mom had another good day of progress.
She was able to take a walk around the whole unit today and they also removed her IV so she has no more cords hooked up to her tethering her to some monitor! She is doing well enough that they don't need that constant info. She has said that she ha a metallic taste in her mouth which of course makes everything not as good as it usually would be when she eats. Hopefully by having the IV out that taste will go away and she will enjoy eating more.
At 10:00 tonight she was moved to a regular room and I'm so happy. Prayerfully she will get a good nights sleep even with a roommate in the room.
Tomorrow will be another big day and she will be seeing the physical therapist and occupational therapist and they will have a big influence on what her future will involve as far as therapy and when she can go home. We are praying she does not need to be in rehab but that she can do the work either by visiting the center or by doing them at home. I know she is homesick and being in her own bed will go a long way to helping her get some rest. But at the same time she is willing to do what she needs to to do to heal.
Mom is still not strong enough to walk on her own but prayerfully that will all come soon.
