getting better

Mom continues her recovery from pneumonia. She seemed to be doing really well last week, but maybe she overexerted herself because she was very tired and sick Friday through Sunday. She's improving again, but still not up to doing any PT. It frustrates her that she's not feeling up to PT, which I take as a good sign that she's motivated to get better.

Which reminds me, she's also having vivid dreams that she swears are real. In one dream, they were having a $64 bottle of champagne in the hallway outside her room and she was yelling for Dad, me, and the aides to help get her out of bed because she couldn't move and she wanted to get out there. Sounds like she is very mentally ready to move on and join her life again.

Speech therapy is going well. They've been working on her swallowing and getting her to tolerate more solid foods.
