Wednesday, 1/7/09

Sorry I never made it online last night; I was too tired... :-)

Yesterday was another good day. Mom's appetite has certainly returned - last night she asked me what there was to eat (and this was after she'd already had dinner). As she's already lost close to 80 pounds, it's great to see some semblance of hunger. This will help her energy levels continue to rise, which is always a good thing.

She had lots of therapy yesterday, but didn't remember too much of it. She's doing much better with getting out of bed and walking (with her walker and someone to help), and just really has a super attitude about everything. We marked off one of her countdown days, which made her happy. She wants to GO HOME!

Sara is coming back on Saturday, which will be so helpful. Now that the holidays are over for everyone else (hey - we haven't celebrated yet!), schedules are back into full swing, and it gets hard to juggle everything. Having another driver/babysitter/hospital visitor will really help ease the burden...

I should have more information tonight. Mom keeps kicking me out early, saying, "You need to be home with your family!". That's so Mom...I love it.
