Monday Sept 15th By Carol Buzalsky — 8 minutes ago I havent updated in a few days, mostly because there hasnt been any significant changes in her health. She continues to have periodic intense leg pain and days of being very tired and sleeps most of the time. I spent today with her and she has slept for most of the day. She had physical therapy but didnt have the energy to transfer to a chair like she had last week. She also has some fluid build up on her lungs which will continue to be monitored. The eating part hasnt moved forward very quickly. She is on a mechanical soft diet which limits her options. Speech therapy was by this afternoon to have her try to eat a bite of bread. Mom was unable to swallow the bread. I think it had more to do with nausea than anything else. She does take a few pills now orally with a spoon of applesauce. That seems to go fine. Mom no longer has the urine catheter and is using a bed pan. Everything is going well in that she recognizes when she needs to go and her kidneys are continuing to function. Yeah mom!! DeAnn and Nathan were with mom on Friday afternoon. I think seeing her grandson brings a real big smile to her face. Dad spent Saturday and Sunday with mom. Marlene and Del also stopped on Sunday before heading home to Rice. Mom just woke up from a snooze so time to go make her smile. Ill update again in a few days.
