Friday Night & Saturday Morning - Things Slowing Down

Mom seemed pretty lucid last night. She walked around and seems a lot less confused than before. She slept soundly for 30-40 minutes. Went walking twice and brushed her teeth. Mom commented that "for the first time I feel like I'm not dying of cancer." Yes Mom - you're not dying, you're LIVING!

This morning she saw Dr. Berkowitz, who said that she should expect an "uneventful" weekend. She then walked around the Connors Center twice. They also were able to remove the oxygen tube - so one more tube gone. Mom is now also allowed to drink clear fluids, one table spoon an hour. She has been asking to smell people's food in lieu of being able to eat, so this is definitely a step in the right direction. Please pray that her bowel would wake up this weekend and that she gets an adequate amount of time to walk, and that her pain would be controlled better.

Otherwise it should be a quiet day.
