Out of ICU

Mom had a great night according to Sarah who was on a cot in the ICU with her. She took her medicine orally at 3am and was asking a lot of questions. We know she's back when she starts telling us who should bring what and asking when we are going to get our hair taken care of!

Sarah says she had a session with the physical therapist this afternoon, moving arms and legs which she couldn't do at all a couple days ago. She worked with the swallow therapist this morning and is able to eat soft foods like applesauce and yoghurt (she sent someone out for pina colada).

The hospitalist said that the spinal fluid was clear, not cloudy, so they think it is unlikely there is lymphoma there though we will have to wait for all the cultures to be sure.

This afternoon, Mom was doing so well they kicked her out of ICU and back to the 12th floor. She has a long, hard rehabilitation ahead of her and still needs to lick serious infections but we are so thankful that she is doing so well!

Many thanks for your prayers which seem to have been answered!
