Actually it wasn't a "fun" day, just coming up with a good title!
I talked to Mom twice today and she was very clear both times. She was telling me if things that she thought happened while she was in ICU and sedated. Funny stories! She'll have to tell you all sometime.
She walked around the 3rd floor today and did really well according to what PT told Dad. She says it's hard to walk with "all these cords still attached to her. "
She did get her central line (IV in her neck) taken out this evening and the "Rapid Response Team" was able to get an IV in her arm with just one poke. She was glad about that.
Mom and Dad are both talking about how soon she may get ti come back to Lubbock because she is ready to start rehab!! Dr. Patterson & Dr. Antony do not want to rush it but have stated how impressed they are with her quick progress!
Dr. Antony wasn't sure how to take Mom's humor for a while but has warmed up more. So when they were talking for an hour and a half yesterday she asked him if he earned his money on her with it taking so long and his reply was, "not sure, but I did earn alot of sleep!". I thought that was cute.
Mom is now able to read her posts and facebook and emails.
Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers. Keep em coming!!
Love,
Rebekah
Glad the doctors finally get your humor, because we love it. Give em all something to talk about :) Great to hear that you have started your PT and walking around! Sending you lots of hugs and love.

I have always liked your funniness
ReplyDeleteand a good attitude goes a long ways towards your
recovery, from what I hear. ha ha
Those doctors will probably be talking about you for a long time.
Never thought I'd hear someone so anxious to get back to Lubbock, Texas though. Have they told you how hot it is yet?
you might want to re-think that idea.
Just kidding.
sending prayers up for you,
with love,
Celia
I see that you have not lost your sense of humor...I am so glad. Hang in there girl.
