Mommy is having a good day! She was up in the chair for breakfast when I got here and addy said she did fair which means a few bites of about everything and then clamps down on that spoon. Physical therapy came in and they went from sitting to standing about three times by then she was getting the hang of it. She walked a few steps and actually beared weight on that hip. She stayed up til lunch dozing and sleeping. Pt wants her up as much as possible for her leg but also her lungs. She ate just a few bites of home made vegetable soup for lunch and drank some tomato juice then she pulled herself upright on the chair and looked at the bed and then looked at me then back to the bed. You don't have to tell me twice so I got the nurse and we put her to bed and she did well with standing. Georgia came to see her this morning and she knew her. Linda hamrick from mommys church was here and Enola and Ernie Fitzwater were here and she knew them. She sleeps while we visit and she will wake up every now and then and smile and go back to sleep. Dr Anderson started her on cozaar and her bp came down good and that was even after walking with physical therapy. The dietician was in and wanted to know if everything was ok and what they could do better. I told them a little debbie cake once in a while would be good. So she should be getting those. Also she is going to start getting smoothies with fruit and some kind of high protein treat. So I guess even if she just gets it all day a bite here and a note there will add up! We are watching the gaithers and she enjoys the music and I am scrapbooking.
She does look like she is getting a yeast infection in her mouth so I got medicine for that. She has only had Tylenol for pain and has really done well. She wakes up easily and doesn't appear drugged. Hazel her sister is on the phone now ao I will blog more when I know it.
Rita I will come back tomorrow morning.
