Mom continues to make improvements each day. She will remain on dialysis for awhile until her kidneys are able to function again, but her liver is starting to make a comeback. They are weaning the vent settings so that she can breathe on her own. She's doing pretty well with that, but they are still providing vent support while her systems heal...maybe she'll be able to breathe without it completely soon (fingers crossed!). They are also changing some of the medications so that it's not a continuous delivery of meds, but now doses of the ones that she needs. Mom's also requiring less pain medication, so that means she is starting to be just a little more alert when they do something to arouse her--like cleaning her mouth, suctioning her, or changing her position in bed. Today we saw her open her eyes a little more and she was able to nod her head just a little bit to answer questions.
Dad had some of his cousins visit today and I think that was a good distraction--thank you for coming up and making that LONG drive!! Continual thanks to everyone for their support and prayers. We hope to just keep the good news coming!
