Well, Mom continues to improve and is sitting up better and talking. The two times I talked to the nurses today I was told she was goofy and confused. At first I thought she was right back to normal but then I remembered they have her on lots of pain medicine. He he ha ha
I know she will laugh about this too.
She was talking nonsense about cats in the hall and pizza parties and said she wanted to go to her room. This sounds funny but we sure don't want her to be like this too long. She is feeling no pain but morphene is a heavy duty narcotic and we hope they don't use too much of it for too long. They said they had stopped giving her the fentenol (amnesia) completely.
Dean said they asked them to switch to something to help her sleep rather than being so high because she isn't sleeping as much as she might. We'll see. We don't want her in pain.
I wish I could be there but am needed here for now. It's too easy, from this distance, to believe she is so much better and forget how much more healing she needs to do. I may be able to return on the weekend and hope to see Mindy when she comes on Monday.
The nurse on the day shift mentioned that they may start looking for her a room and move her from ICU soon. This is good!

Dear Linda, I am so glad to hear how much better you are doing. I don't know if you have gotten my first comment, but we were in Scotland when I got the news about your accident. Frank and I have kept you in our prayers. You are strong and a fighter. We'll talk on the phone as soon as you are able. My email address is fjkeenan@fuse.net. Love, Josephine
Linda, your progress is amazing, a result of such loving care by John and Diane, friends and family and nurses. You are amazing to have come this far and we are confident that your strength, faith, and prayers going up from hundreds of folks, are making a difference. We love you and are so glad you are doing better and able to eat some more these days. The web for the hostel is a terrific idea and we will make a gift in your honor to this program you and John have devoted such passion, time, and energy to for several years now! Take care, friend....Pat Lile
