Anthony started the day with mom this morning. She was on the CPAP (vent assist lowest level) again. I suppose someone from the night shift switched her back over. She went back on the trach collar while Anthony was there because her numbers were good. He said that he stretched her hands and arms and did her full physical therapy range of motion exercises. He talked with her and she drew on the dry erase board too. He said she was happy and woke up as he began her exercises. I had a sinus headache and a but of a stuffed head so I didn't go see mom today--I'll see how I am tomorrow. Anthony said that Con called while he was there with mom twice. He asked mom if she wanted to talk to Con on the phone and mom grabbed the phone and put it to her ear. At one point, she smiled broadly and Anthony asked Con what she was saying to mom and Con said she told mom to remember to smile! Anthony said mom also mouthed a lot of words on the phone but he couldn't tell what she was saying. She fell asleep before they dressed her and put her in the wheelchair.
Dad came to see mom next and said that she was alert and awake and happy. Mom went to a birthday party in the Recreation Room. Yesterday, a woman came to sing in her room and played a piano as well. After the party, mom went to physical therapy in the gym! We don't know how she did there because dad didn't go with her or ask how she did. Dad and mom watched TV until bed time and dad put her to sleep tonight.
