4 Goals for the Day!

There are 4 goals for mom today...

1. Sit in a chair - PASSED!!! She was up and sitting in a chair at 10:10 AM.
2. Pass swallow test to get feeding tube out & allow her to eat real food
3. Breathing treatments
4. Dangle - sit on edge of bed and dangle arms & legs

There will be no dialysis treatment today as the past two days of treatment have gone so well they are going to take a break to begin her on a normal dialysis schedule.

She is talking more today and dad says it's loud enough to understand.

The X-Rays of the pneumonia show improvement.

Once these goals are met they will probably go ahead and transfer her to the 3rd floor, which is the cardiac wing. This way her cardiologist can monitor her easier and she can get out of the ICU.

The doctors keep saying "baby steps" but to me it looks like she's taking strides from where we were a week ago! Hallelujah!

Please say a prayer for my mom. She was taken to the hospital early this morning and the verdict is pneumonia. She's currently in the ICU, hopefully to be moved to a regular room by tomorrow as long as she responds well enough to the meds. She had an echocardiogram done on her heart and everything looks good there. The doctors did confirm though that she'll be there through the end of the year. Please pray for her comfort as she currently has an intubation tube in her throat, which she HATES! Thank goodness she knows a little sign language. In advance - thank you for the prayers and good thoughts! I know she'll appreciate them!! Please also say a quick prayer for my dad. He seems to go into Superman mode during times like these and be a strong hero for all of us girls and forgets that he also needs to take care of himself. We love you daddy...just be there for mom...we'll take care of each other. Adding comments from Facebook:
