I flew back to Iowa on Saturday night after our mountain bike race. Mom is back in the hospital after 2 days of GI bleeding and vomiting. :-( Thankfully the vomiting stopped today. It will be baby steps to get her strength & eating back. At 90 years old...this stuff is rough.
Thumbs up selfie...Monte, Emily, Mom & Me.
We were able to get mom sitting up in a chair for 2 hours. She also got a haircut. She has been approved for a liquid diet too! Mom sleeps most of the time but when she is awake she recognizes everyone and answers questions well. Thankful she isn't having pain and sleeps comfortably. Currently mom needs supplemental oxygen but she should be able to wean off that again. I'm staying in her hospital room tonight and tomorrow night too.
The time you spend with your mother is precious to you I know...so happy she is able to recognize you...at the end my mother didn't speak or recognize me, but I knew she knew that I was with her. I played her favorite CD with the hymns that she loved!
ReplyDeleteAwww... that is lovely, Karen. I also played hymns through my phone while I was there. So comforting.
