Wow! It sounds like Mom had a really great day today. She had a lot of visitors, and I got good reports all around. Her brother Bob came up from his job assignment in Pennsylvania, and his wife Mary, daughter Lauren, and son Daniel came up from Connecticut. Darlene also came with Kenny and her daughter, Lisa. My sister also came up with Conrad.
I got reports from Bob and Darlene, and they both said she had a really good day. She was awake, alert and coherent. She ate half her lunch while they were there, and Bob was really encouraged that she has backed off on using morphine, and is using a pill to manage her pain lately, he thought it was hydrocodone. Bob asked her about the plan to move the chest tube from the left side to the right side, and this was news to Mom, but that's not surprising as she was more out of it earlier in the week.
They both said that they had tired her out pretty well, and that she was resting after their visit. I may try to call later to see if she's up for talking for a few minutes.
