Hi, I couldn’t get my tablet to work last night for an up date.
Yesterday they got a fourth IV that seems to have taken well. They took her off the IV medicine that burned in her veins and are giving it to her orally.
She was in bed all day yesterday and had some achiness most of the day.
Last night mom had a difficult time getting comfortable to enable restful sleep. This was despite my lullaby singing, although she sang along with me.
Today mom’s been up in the chair all day, at least three walks to the bathroom, breathing treatments, and visit from her primary caregiver. She is now on 1.5 liters of oxygen and they did one trial off of the oxygen for a while.
The hospitalist said maybe home tomorrow which mom and primary care think is a bit too soon, we’ll see how tonight goes.
As for now we are watching Jeopardy and mom is paying the most attention in two weeks! I’ll take progress any way I can get it.

All good news. Im a Jeopardy Junky also. Iv’e been battling a cold for the last few days that seems to have “gone into my chest”. I’m seeing my doctor today. I’ve heard this story too many times recently. Several friends have been diagnosed with pneumonia.
I know this has been very hard on all involved. I am so glad Elaine has had the support of all of you,
