Slowly turning the corner

Quick report from the ICU. The Docs seem pleased today with Mom's progress. While we're not out of the woods yet and will remain in ICU for now, things are trending the right direction. Mom has made good progress with her breathing and her vital signs are more in check now.

We've had some good chats today--of course she just nods and now she spells things out with her fingers. I usually can guess what she's saying after one or two tries :)

Earlier today we put on some spa music and gave her a leg and foot massage. That got a thumbs up! Dad and I are just sitting quietly with her now as the evening winds down.

Here's to more positive news coming each day!!

Love to all,
jen
