Mom:

The hospital bed is working out nicely for mom. I think the timing on getting the bed was just right. Mom seems to be on the outer edge of slipping into a coma. She only wakes up briefly and she mumbles her responses. This morning I was up with her at 4:00 am. She was actually quite awake then, I was able to give her her medicine and she was able to drink from a glass. She ate a few bites of cheese cake, watched a little TV. Stephen and I were able to reposition her. I woke dad up and had him come out and sit with her and visit – she was awake for about an hour. Her urine output is ok – not as good as it has been but it is now more orange in color – not the clear yellow – so I think that she has a little bit of blood in her urine. Her blood pressure and body temperature are great. Her breathing is a little raspy at times.
