Good night and Sweet Dreams

Gaylen and I have just said goodnight to mom. Her spirits are good and she seems to be out of the initial woods. The plan is for her to rest tomorrow (Sunday) and then the neurologist will have a better sense of her plan for the next week. Mom is ready to get out of the ICU and get rid of the numerous IV's and cords.

how it can change

Mom did sit up last night and even got out of bed for a half a second! She had a restless night sleep but she did say she did manage to get a few hours of sleep last night. Her blood pressure is stable. She is thirsty mostly because of the sodium drip they are giving her to keep the swelling down. Mom keeps a close eye on the clock so she doesn't miss an hour of chips and sips. Her potassium and magnesium are low and the nurses are working on getting those levels back up. We need to continue to watch her today and hope there is still no change.

As I type this mom is complaining of heart pain and a headache. They are monitoring her very closely. They are giving her and EKG as I type....more to come. keep sending your good thoughts.
