Mom Update 1-23-10

Mom was moved to the Baylor Specialty Hospital (i.e. Rehab) late yesterday afternoon. They said that it is a minimum of a 21 day stay. Luckily she was able to get a private room and Dad can stay there with her.

Cindy, Hayden, and I went to see her on Thursday and she pretty much slept the whole time. We kept having to wake her up every time to give he a bite of her lunch. I am not even sure she remembers we were there. She was pretty out of it.

Jeff, Robin, Hayden, and I went to see her today. She still seems somewhat confused and has a hard time getting her thoughts out. She gets kind of agitated quickly too. They are supposed to do an evaluation on Monday to get her ready for all her therapy services (physical, occupational, and speech therapy). She is still quite weak, but seems to be getting out of bed and moving her arms and upper body better than I expected. Don't get me wrong, she is not ready to run a marathon or even walk out into the hall. She still needs lots of help, but making progress nonetheless. Hopefully after the therapy begins and she continues to eat a little better, she will start getting strength back both in her body and her mind.

Thank you for continuing to think about and pray for her!
