Wow I am totally amazed at how well my Mom is doing

On the 24th the Doc woke my Mom upi to lket her know that they planned on puttin gin a Trach so that they could finally take her off the sedation and get her to wake up. which they did on Thursday the 25th, then on Friday the 26th they moved her from the ICU to a Rehab unit in the Hosp and 2 of my sisters where ther with her and also Guenter and my Brother and his Girlfriend, they went and got her a white board so that she could communicate because she could not talk.

They all came back on that Sunday leaving Barb there with Mom, Guenter cam home so that he could get some of the bills paid, then He went back down on Wednesday. My Sister Cris and I went down on Thurday and I was so happy to see mom sitting up if she needed something she would write it on the board to her it was really frustrating, but then on Friday while we were visiting her the Resipatory tech came in and put in a speaking valve so she could talk the respirator was then turned off but she was still recieving  oxygen through the trach., Butthe best part was thet we could now hear her talk to us.

She is just doing so good. When we told her of the details of what had happened and what all she went  troughshe had no idea that it had been that bad.

Yesterday 5 OCT Cris and I came home, and last evening the took the tube out of her Trach and put a bandage over the opening and said that it will close on its own in a few days.

Today 6 OCT Guenter said they had her walking.

They told us befroe we left that she might be able to come home as early as Wednesday. In the beginning they told us that she may be there for about 2 months.

Yea
