We lift up our nation, God's children, as we remember the significance of this day.
Yesterday, Mom rested, after undergoing her 4th angiogram and as the last blog indicated, it seems that the vasospasm risk is diminishing. Therefore, Mom spent most yesterday sleeping. They continue to monitor and adjust her blood pressure, blood/sugar, temperature, etc.
She had a very restful evening and pain medications have been weened for now.
She's done very well with doing the commands this morning which includes, squeezing hands from both sides, and wiggling her toes. The right side continues to be weaker than the left, but stronger today, than in days past.
Because of her improvement, it was decided this morning, that they will only come in to do the brain monitoring testing every 2 hours, rather than 1, creating an opportunity for more uninterrupted rest.
Mom has so many pokey holes in her fingers (from the blood sugar tests); her body bloated from the additional fluids provided her; but is healing beautifully, being more alert longer and wrestling in bed (which is a good thing).
Ray arrived from Maui very early this a.m. and caught just a couple of zzzzz's at Rena's, allthough, they are headed over to the hospital now. Mom will have all of her children loving and helping her and we are so appreciative of all the blessings that God pours into Mom and each one of us. We are also grateful for the spouses that we married because of how supportive they are!! Every single person who has stepped into this room - neurologist, surgeon, Physician's Assistant, nurse, janitor, everyone - has been nothing but incredibly loving, understanding and devoted to providing the best care for our mother.
Even in the midst of the most difficult moments, God shows us how much He is here with us, and how He loves us through the kind acts of others. Thank you God.
