Mom has shown more stability and movement with the medication wearing off and her being more aware. She responds a little to our presence by opening her eyes slightly. She did respond to yes and no questions today for the nurses telling them if she had pain or needing the bed adjusted. They tried to wean her from the respirator some but to no avail.
The nurses are doing a good job of playing her music regularly.
The heart and respiratory failure was due to excess fluid and blood infection affecting the white blood cells. The heart muscle and valves seem to be fine. The antibiotics are addressing the infection and fluid is being suctioned out as well as the body absorbing it.
Mom was progressing well in rehab, so this must be frustrating to her. Please pray for her continued progress and God's peace upon her during this ordeal.
I would also ask continued prayer for her family as God leads. Our patience regarding this whole matter is being tried with out a doubt.
