Upstairs, Day 1

Mom moved out of ICU!!! She's upstairs now, and doing fabulously. She drank some water today, and didn't seem to have problems with that, so she's making more progress. There's talk about taking the trache out soon, because she can get oxygen through a nose thing if she needs it, and she's not having problems swallowing.

If you do come visit her, please be mindful of the visiting policies, as she still needs to do more recovery. She is also very sensitive to smells, so don't bring anything that has a scent to it, or wear any strong smells. She may not be in this hospital for very long, as there's talk of transferring her to a rehab facility that would be more specialized for her.
