Great conversation!!

I got to talk to mom tonight for about 15 minutes! I am still just SO thankful that I'm able to talk with her again like "normal"!

She continues to make progress! She's able to get in and out of bed with a little less help than before. She can get to and from the bathroom on her own as well.

She had a tough day of physical/occupational therapy on Friday. They pushed her harder than the days before...now walking the hallways with a walker instead of being in a wheelchair!

She doesn't like her new bed because the buttons to move it up & down are on the outside of the arms...so that stinks!

They finally have her glucose medication correct so that also making her feel better! Although tonight it was high due to her using lifesavers to calm a cough...

Dad is optimistic that she may be able to go home by next weekend if she keeps with it and working as hard as she did this past week! My opinion: I want her to stay (even though its somewhat miserable) until she's REALLY ready! Guess that just the mom in me...don't want to have to take any steps backwards since she's been progressing forward so well!

Funny story...dad text us girls last night! He got the first bill from Seton in the mail...told us how much it was! I about fell out of the chair I was sitting in!!! His response, "I need a drink!". Yes, dad...I do agree!!!

Please don't forget or hesitate to email me at familywarren5@gmail.com if you have any item or service you can donate for our silent auction/benefit. We have decided to come up with a goal of $30,000 to raise!! This will help put a dent in the medical bills for mom and dad!! Anything you can donate for our auction/benefit would be such a blessing!! Thank you!!!

Until later...

Strength… #forthewrightreasons

August 21, 2019…it was just another time of crazy happening…this time to fix the 99% blockage in your heart. I was scared.  The odds were stacked against you. It was then that you held me in your arms, and comforted me instead of the other way around. You told me during that embrace that you weren’t scared of the outcome because either way you would be healed on earth or healed and in Heaven. My anxiety was so high and you held me as I cried…you did everything you could to reassure me that there was so much peace in your mind and heart and you showed me what true strength looked like.  We took this picture, because I was afraid it would be the last time I would get to see you. Through my tears you comforted me, as any mother would, but that day, you showed me what compassion felt like. You fought so hard those next few days - especially the next, when you coded from losing so much blood...you fought so hard the following 6 months for everything to be the best you could make it...

Holding hands...

I must say that I admire a child's heart. My oldest daughter, Liberty, asked if there was a way to hold Nana's hand when she prayed for her. I told her no...we were in Dallas, mom in Austin and knowing that even if we were in Austin, Liberty is not allowed in ICU due to her age. Some time had passed when she came bouncing into the living room..."Mom...can Cristi take a picture of Nana's hand? Then I can hold it anytime I want!" Oh, my!! After wiping my tears, I asked Cristi to do just that...so, if you'd like to also hold my mother's hand while praying for her...here you go! Comments:

January 6, 2013

Mom was finally moved to an intermediate care room last night as she continues on the path to recovery. The results of her cat scan from the other evening were good - confirmed no stroke. However, her speech is still slow and you can tell she's confused so they did an EEG today. She's having some difficulty answering some simple questions such as 2+2, her birthday, and what month it is. She does know that its 2013 but I think thats only because we told her (a few days ago though...). She did tell me on Friday that she doesn't understand... "can't fathom 2013". We went to see her today on our way home. The kids (Trey, Morgan, Liberty, Hailey, & Brooklyn) finally got to see her as well! We are hoping that it will help with her recovery. She did perk up just a bit but not like I had hoped. However...I still have hope as she had a pretty exhausting day with the EEG test. She looked tired! She's not sleeping very well...she told dad a few days ago that she...
