Mom is doing really well! I made cookies and brought a thank you card with the blog address in it up to the Neuro ICU this morning and they were asking how she was doing and saying they would love to have her come back and visit WHEN she gets better. She has definitely made Promise her new home (for now)....as she seems to really like it. Especially since she is out of those oh so elegant hospital gowns and into her comfy pajama pants and t-shirt along with something to workout in and tennis shoes. She had physical therapy today and it wore her little self out. Johnny and I were able to meet one of her Drs this afternoon in which she evaluated her. Mom will be doing therapy everyday Monday-Friday and increase her duration of all three types of therapy the stronger and better she gets. She was rambling a lot of nonsense stuff today and this evening but I think that is only because she was so tried from them wearing her out. She keeps wanting to go home and will say, "well, you about ready to go"? or "Ok, I'm ready to go whenever you are". She will do exercises for us with her arms and her left eye (after the last surgery....it stays closed I guess bc the eyelid is still weak). Johnny has spent so much time up there helping her and it really shows. She is smiling at us with that cute little grin of hers and stays in good spirits which is great :) I had a horrible day and needed my Mom.....so I went up there this evening. Let me tell you Mom...even though you were sleeping...you were there for me and I miss you terribly. I know you are improving by leaps and bounds and it is only a matter of time before you amaze them and us even more and are ready to head home. Love you.
