MAMA said

I tried several times tonight and finally got to talk to Mama! She sounds good, and Susan and Don, who were visiting, called later to tell me she looks just wonderful.
Mama says she has therapy in the morning, lunch, rest, and then her and her nice room friend were invited to go to somewhere, where they made a craft.

Lets see, two weeks ago tonight we were talking with the lung doctor, who told us her chances of coming off the respirator were 50/50! Mama's answer to him was to ignore that, and trust in whatever decision God had in mind. She knew she needed the surgery, and He knew we needed her here for a purpose.

Susan likes the nursing facility staff and feels better about Mama's decision to continue her therapy and healing there. Mama is clear about her choices when she decides to make them. If she wants our opinion, we give it, but she makes her own decisions whenever she can.

She gave me good advice the night she was so ill, I was trying to make her comfortable, and in my joy that she was responding to my questions about blankets, needles, cold feet and water, I lifted her Oxygen mask so that I could understand her words.

She said clearly, "Too Many Questions"

Now she would probably tell me "Too Many Words!" Did I mention I write too much when I am happy??

Susan says she now has doctor appointments and ultrasound in a week or so with Dr. Jones. She is not ready to deal with her cell phone yet, and looks forward to a note or card. Thank you to all who have sent the lovely cards and letters.

I told Mama good-night!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
