Mom kept her eyes open for most of our visit yesterday. She was very alert and active in the conversations. We are still communicating by reading lips or spelling things out with her finger on a pillow on her lap. Soon, we are going to hand her a pen and hold some paper to see if she can write for us. She seemed happy, although still very tired.
When I asked her if she wanted anything, she mouthed "I want to go home."
Her movements keep getting stronger and stronger. She doesn't lift her arms against gravity yet, but I think she will soon.
She asked us many questions (which she's never done before): status of their taxes, making sure her women's group from church had the flowered tote bag with all their info, and making sure we canceled a her registration for a convention she is going to miss in Spokane this summer.
She also made requests, also something she's never done before: brushing her hair and moisturizer on her hands & feet.
She waved good-bye when she was ready for us to leave.
