Much, Much Better, Thank You!
Movement for 9/26/08:
- The untested diagnosis of pneumonia was probably correct, as, by the time she awoke today (I gave her an extra hour beyond her usual 12-hour-sleep-mark) the "thick tongue" had completely subsided and her strength in her legs was obviously returning. She looked better, too. We stuck with the wheelchair, today, and may do so, tomorrow, I'm not sure. However, transfers were easy, Mom moved her feet without much thought, even raised herself on her own from her rocking chair twice, once as we headed her in for her nap and once when it was time to rub her legs down. She slept more than usual, today; so much that we weren't able to get in her 3rd breathing treatment, but I'm not worried about this. She is, apparently, recovering, from what probably is pneumonia.
