Well, today, mom is doing much better although she keeps saying she wants to go home which can't happen yet. We just arrived back at the rehab center in room 311 this time. Her phone number is 850-216-3109. Just understand that she may not remember who you are but she will enjoy talking with you.

At the moment, I'm having a wonderful conversation telling her all about her family and friends and it is pleasing to her. She is in great spirits, especially now that the heart monitor leads have been taken off.

Sunday night, when she came back into the hospital, she didn't get any sleep even with all the medicine they gave her. She also didn't sleep the next day. However, starting Monday night, she has been almost non-stop sleeping and it has been a healing sleep.

As it stands now, she still has pneumonia which put a strain on her heart. At first they thought it might be a heart attack but it is just pneumonia caused strain. Her heart is enlarged a bit and irregular so that is a concern but it is just age related and not unexpected in someone her age. Her pneumonia is much better now and the rehab will be good for her even though she doesn't want to do any of it.

More later.
