Reality check

Poor Mom, when John told her today was Wed she said she needed to get out of there so she could go to her 50th reunion on Friday. He had to tell her it was two weeks ago and she missed it. She will be hearing from her friends and catching up. They made a terrific book for the event.

She is starting to understand what happened and how long she has been out. She is still disoriented and confused and may be for a few days.

They gave her some real food today. Jello!

John says she is very appreciative of the nurses and doctors for keeping her alive and telling them so. They have been great. I took a photo of John and Mom up to her room last week so they could see how she normally looks, at her best. They commented that in the ICU they rarely get to meet any of their patients for most of them are out cold or on life support.

Best of all, they may be moving her out into a private room tonight or early tomorrow. I'll post the number here when I get it.

Thanks for keeping up with her and all of your prayers.

Yes, it was truly great to be able to have a "conversation" with Linda today. She gets better by the hour!

The way you love your friends and family, I'm sure you were disappointed to hear that you had missed the reunion, but there will be more! Out of ICU....another praise! Hope you start sleeping better soon. Hugs and Kisses, Kathy Brown
