Mom has been resting most of the day. Occasionally she wakes up and cries out of concern for the family. She was telling me how worried she is about going home and not being able to meet everyone's expectation for her to care for them. She is worried about Andrew. It seems like these cyclic bursts of sadness are just a part of the struggle.
Meanwhile, a nurse explained a little more about Mom's infection - they will clean out the infected area twice a day and have given Mom some antibiotics. Apparently, infections are quite common, but need to be monitored and treated. Hopefully, this will not affect when she will be discharged from the hospital and when her chemotherapy treatment will begin.
Also, Mom's pain has been much better managed. Her pain medication still makes her a little loopy/sleepy, but it has been great for her rest.
