Mom's Stable

Well, my mom is stable. I went to see her a couple of days ago and she had her eyes open. She is still intubated so she cannot speak and they still have her sedated so she has to work very hard to move her arms or open her eyes. She could hear me and understand me. I even saw her smile when I talked about the kids, even if it was ever so slightly. That was very encouraging to me. She closed her eyes for a bit while I talked to Jim, but when I said I had to go, she opened them again to say goodbye. The doctors saw some improvement on her x-rays a few days ago too. So she is hanging in there.
