Mom was moved to the 2nd floor, solarium bed 3, at about 10 p.m. last night. Visiting hours are now from
12-8 p.m. Dad saw mom from 12-3 and said she would open her eyes and look at him, hold his hand or finger, and go back to sleep. He spoke to the doctor about the bruise on mom's arm and the doctor said it looks like something that happened when they took blood (it doesn't look that way to me but...). The doctor said she is on a small dose of heprin so he doubts it is from that. Dad forgot to ask about the brown under her right thumb nail and the site on her upper left arm that looks like an injection was given to her. The doctor said that, given all mom has been through, it is still typical for her to be so sleepy. He feels she is sleeping and not in a coma (thank the Lord). The doctor told dad that mom will be in the hospital on the 2nd floor until Monday because the facility is not accepting any patients until then.
Anthony and Con came around 3 to see mom and dad left to go have dinner and check on Aunt Sophie. They said that mom mostly slept the whole time they were there but she did smile at Con once.
Dad, Claudia and I came back to see mom around 5:30-6:00 (Claudia and I treated ourselves to a mini spa afternoon---massage and pool....ahhhh....). Mom became more awake and alert then. She smiled at Claudia and mouthed, "I love you" as well. After everyone but dad and I left, mom was mouthing a lot of sentences:
"I feel, I feel..." "I wanna, I wanna go to the bathroom" and she also told me, "I love you" and when she opened her eyes at one point, she mouthed, "Pray?" so we did (even though we had already). It looks like she is dreaming when she falls asleep and begins to talk/mouth things in her sleep.
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day" 2 Corinthians 4:16
