For those who don’t have Facebook and receive my daily updates on Mother:

I spent the day with her – 9 AM to 4:30 PM. I was honored to have that time with her – alone – while the others had to go to work. I did counted cross-stitch when I wasn’t attending to her. I massaged her shoulders, tried to feed her (she is not interested in eating), facilitated two long-distance phone calls from her daughter Doris (Minnesota) and granddaughter, Judi (Wisconsin) by using my cell phone’s speaker, and did my best to keep her cool (when the room was warm) or warm (after the nurse changed the temperature). 🙂

She is still weak from her fall, broken hip, and surgery. The medical team decided to give her a unit of blood today because her blood pressure was low. After the four-hour transfusion her blood pressure was finally over 100. I saw it as high as 117 over 61.

By 4:30 PM she was being transferred out of the Intermediate Intensive Care Unit to the 4th floor where they will begin physical therapy.

Keep praying!
