Doing Better

Once again mom is beating the odds. After an active weekend of visiting with friends and family, she was feeling a little confined and feeling like she was stuck in these 2 rooms ... so she wanted to walk down the stairs to the basement to her apartment. After watching her walk so well with the walker, we decided..... what the heck.... why not! And she did. She walked down the stairs helped us unpack her suitcases (from after Missouri and before the hospital) found some books and information she had been concerned about, and went through some other stuff. The Nurse came and did all her dressing changes and her business also in the apartment, then she walked back up the stairs and to her room upstairs.... Without hesitation or getting out of breath. So, Yes she is doing quite well!!!

She also asked me to tell you that she is ready and willing to talk on the phone. When she first got sick she wasn't to excited about talking on the phone, and then the NG tube made her throat sore and she sounded awful and it hurt to talk, but now, all of that is over and she has her phone charged and ready to go. So if you want to talk to her.... she would be happy to oblige you :-)

Grandma and Sarah also discovered that they have the same great taste in shoes! Same brand, same size and everything.
