A day of rest?

It's Sunday, the Beatles are playing in the background and the day is going good. I thought Sunday was a day of rest here at City of Hope. The parking lots are empty, the waiting rooms are empty, but room 4111 is NOT empty! Not by a long shot. Bryn, our amazing physical therapist, came in first with a whole laundry list of demands. Move your legs this way, lift your legs this way, stretch your arms this way. I know its great for Mom to keep moving, but she is very tired today and can't seem to stay asleep for any stretch of time with all the people in and out. Its quiet for the time being-except for the fire alarm testing they do on the first Sunday of each month. I guess we have bad timing.

Still no improvement in the fart department. This is a big deal, not only will she get to eat when she starts farting, but the doctors will remove the tube that is through her nose going into her stomach. It is there to remove excess fluid, but it is irritating her throat. A big THANK You to everyone who sent us well wishes for farts-I guess we are going to need a little more!

Finally, for my dear Aunt Linda and for anyone that wants to send a card, please mail to the address listed under the donation button. Please note that Mom is not allowed to have flowers or plants. I know that will come as a disappointment to some, but flowers are too damn expensive anyway and I snuck in one little wildflower to show her earlier.

Thanks for reading. See you all tomorrow.
