Small steps!

Today Mom got to sit up in a chair! This was no small feat, it didn't last too long, and it exhausted her. They are trying to get her up moving more. This is good.

John says she is still eating lightly, soft things and resting a lot. He didn't try to wake her this afternoon when he visited.

He also said they will be moving her into a better room (private) where he can also stay the night there with her. That should make things easier for him. I hope she can get more sleep in the next room. It's hard to sleep in a hospital when they come in and do something every hour and there are so many beeps! I think ICU is the worst for noise but then, most of those patients don't notice.

I don't know if she knows about this blog yet. It has been mentioned but we don't know how much she retains so far. She is still so medicated, things are unclear. I look forward to her getting to read it and catch up on her celebrity. I hope that she will take it over for herself and everyone who has been reading this can continue to keep up with her from now on. I think she would enjoy this.

I'm just astonished and thrilled by this progress. I know there is a long way yet to go, but Linda is showing her renowned strength already, and I know she will continue to.

Yes, Aunt Linda, I'm sooooo proud of you. That must have been hard to do, but YOU have a lot of determination when you set your mind to it. This blog has been wonderful to keep up with your progress. And progress it is!!! PTL.
With love to you and Uncle John....
