WELL WHAT A DIFFERNCE A DAY MAKES. i swear this is moms MO. (this is the way it happens every time she goes into the hospital for surgery or illness) i walked in the room today she was in the chair very alert, smiling when she saw the flowers from aunt mary, read the cards i gave her and laughed at the funny ones, said she walked down to almost the nursing station which is about 2 doors away, she said it felt good.(even with shortness of breath and weakness) but continues to be short of breath at times special after excercise of any type. she said she is going to try to stay in the chair most of the day and if she cant she will sit up with every breathing treatment. i think she ate breakfast pretty good but didnt eat lunch. she said the doctor told her they are checking into rehabalitation places for a short term stay, she said she is ready to get back to normal. thanks for all the prayers. maybe they have been answered. they were answered today anyway. take care.
