Hello Everyone,
Mom (Alice, Grandma, Aunt) is continuing to improve at Sherman West Nursing/Rehab.
Her face and skin are much more "normal" looking right now. The swelling has subsided considerably. Other positives: the pick line is now out, the stomach feeding pump is gone (feeding done now through the peg and gravity), and Mom's physical, occupational and speech therapy is going very well.
She was hoping to be home by Thanksgiving, but the doctors and staff agreed that she should stay at the rehab facility until December 4th. Our family will make sure that she has plenty of attention on Thanksgiving Day including a special family gathering at Sherman West in the evening.
Weekly visits to the UC will continue each Tuesday. During the next visit, the ENT staff will work on her trache, which has become a problem again. On November 27th, Mom will have a CT scan done to begin the process of assessing the results of the past two months of therapy. The knowledge that we are in God's hands is a comfort to all of us. We will "wait upon the Lord."
As always, please continue your prayers and emails. They are greatly appreciated.
Sincerely, JT:)
