I thought I would write a quick update. Dad and I are at the hospital with Mom, who just had an amazing visit with Jim and Ruth. I don't know what Ruth said, but their bond is deep and I think it did Mom a world of good to see her. Dad and I enjoyed our visit with them too. Today Mom was able to pull herself up and sat on the side of the bed for about 20 minutes. Her speech continues to get clearer and more controlled. She was actually able to feed herself some lunch (a tuna sandwich) which was so great to see for me. She has not have the strength to do that at all up until now, so praise the Lord for that one!
She ended up having the CT scan which came back clear enough for her surgeon to request her transfer to the acute rehab center in Escondido. We are waiting for the ambulance to come get her as we speak. There was some fluid build up that showed up on the CT scan that they think will drain better once she is up and around in rehab. Its going to be hard and I don't think she will like it much, but I really feel like it is the best place for her to be.
Speaking of which, the ambulance has arrived and we will be getting ready to follow them over to the new place. Please say some prayers today for a smooth transition and continued healing and recovery as she starts this new phase of healing! Thank you again for all of your continued love and support! It means the world to us!
