When I text my dad last night for the latest update, instead of texting back...he called! I cannot tell you how AMAZING it is to hear mom talking more and more.
So...today, I called for the update and he said, "It's been her best day yet! We're having a party..."
Mom's brother, Jimmie, and sister-in-law, Diana, went to visit with her today. She's been talking and laughing. Jimmie even fed her lunch....although I don't think she liked it. I guess at some point in the conversation dad mentioned to Jimmie that when all is said and done she'll have been at the hospital for 18 days and mom replied, "I've been here 18 days???!!??" Haha...oh how I'm so glad there are some of those days she doesn't remember. I am so grateful that I started writing...that way it will some day help her know what transpired while she was "out of it" for a bit!
I think I can speak for my entire family that we are so grateful for the doctors & nurses at Seton Medical Center and even the Hays EMS team that showed up to the house in the wee hours of December 27th. The last 17 days have been a complete whirlwind for our family! We owe a debt of gratitude to you and all of the others who spend their time training in each of their areas to help those that need it.
We are optimistic that the next step of this journey at the rehabilitation center will only prove to be a continuation of greatness for mom! I can only imagine what those doctors and nurses thought of our big crazy family going in and out of the hospital to visit. (Keep your opinions to yourself...we know we're crazy but that's what makes us who we are!! Oh yeah...we know we're loud too....that's what makes us "Wrights"!)
We also owe a debt of gratitude to all of our friends and extended family for the continued prayers through this time. We've had ups and downs, times of frusturation, anxiety, sadness, and joy. Thank you for sharing those moments with us and praying for mom and our family.
So...for today...all I can say is THANK YOU Uncle Jimmie & Aunt Diana!!! You've made her day and I am so grateful!!
My favorite part of the phone conversation with dad today was him saying, "It was so great to hear her laugh again!"
Until later...
