Moving On

I talked to Greig tonight, he says Mama was moved out of progressive care on up to F floor which means she is on her way toward wellness once again. Greig and Susan both told me she is eating better, and wanted Fizole's Saturday night.
I asked Susan if those were a pastry with meat in it and she informed me it is a well known Italian Restaurant! Well, welcome to the North Woods! Mama had Spaghetti! Go Mama!

Greig says they are stopping the constant dextrose drip and her arm is much less swollen and they are encouraging her to once again try to begin strength exercises like walking. She is also trying very hard to eat a bit more and thinks her appetite is coming back.

I am purposely trying to do as Mama does, and focus on the positive. Instead of trying to steer, I will try to remember who is in the driver's seat, and I will just say 'thank-you's' and 'praises' instead. That's easier if it's not your Mom involved. It's easy to get down in the dumps. Mama needs continued prayers--so does her family.

Our thanks once again

Sharon
