Ricky took me to the bus garage so I could bring that big yellow monster home. Now I need to figure out a seating chart, load the trash baskets and broom and I should be all set for Tuesday. I'm kind of ready to start on Tuesday, but kind of not...lol. Hope it's not too hot. We do have to go on Monday and get our picture for our ID's taken. Fun!!

I made it over to see Mom around 9:30 this morning. The CT scan had already been done. The Dr. said it didn't show any 'major' damage, but 'lots of little' places. He seems to think that she'll continue to do better with the stroke symptoms. She can smile now, her right arm isn't feeling heavy and her right leg isn't numb any more..... so far. Her speech is still very hard to understand for most people, but for some reason, most of the time...I understand her. The urinary tract infection is still there as is the C-Diff. Her antibiotic was changed from an IV to a pill in hopes that the metallic taste will enable to like the taste of food a little better.

They hadn't ordered breakfast for her yet and she wanted a donut. Then didn't have any in the cafeteria so I drove to the Meijer store and got her one. She ate about 3 small bites and that was it.

Her memory is so bad. She had to have asked me 10 times or more why she was in the hospital and about the same number of times asked what was around her ankles. There was nothing, but to her it felt like it. The have a dry erase board in her room so I wrote "Nothing around ankles" on it. There wasn't enough room to write why she is in the hospital. She seem shocked at other times that she is in the hospital.

Mom is doing physical therapy and speech therapy. I just don't see her getting better, but you know.....everytime we've thought it was the end.....she came back...a little weaker, but came back. Not sure what to expect this time, but I really don't think she will get any better.

I do want to thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers, it means the world to me.
