Visit

Mom has two infections going on VRE and MSRA, she will be on an antibiotic program for the next three weeks. Her fever is gone and so is the nausea/vomiting. The feeding tube rate was reduced so that helped with the nausea. Saturday night Mom received a blood transfusion, her hemoglobin was 8.0 and the she received two units of blood. Today it was up to 11.9. They are doing some testing to find where the blood is going (the lab lost one sample)

In the afternoons mom is more alert and talks a little bit. She has said our names and she even tried writing her name. Occupational therapy visited her today and noticed some real improvements with her holding her head up and her balance as she sat on the edge of the bed. The OT therapist "Becky" is a real blessing and had a wonderful prayer with us today! Beth and Glenn had been visiting her the last four days and it was a good visit. (sorry for the lack of updates, no Internet) We had a good time and Mom did recognize us for the most part. Please keep praying!
