We are really getting to see the fruit of everyone's prayers and mom's hard work. This morning she was sitting up in bed when my Dad and Pratap kaka went to visit her. She had some clear broth for dinner last night and some ice cream for dessert. Pratap kaka had the honor of feeding her the first spoon of clear broth. This morning she was sipping on some clear broth when my Dad and Pratap kaka visited her. She said that she had been working on drinking the one bowl of soup for an hour. Since she now had visitors, she let Pratap kaka and Dad feed her the soup and let her hand rest a little. She's felt everyones positive vibrations and is now able to obviously show that she is working hard to get back to a healthy lifestyle. She told Pratap kaka today that she was going to work hard for Dad and me. The doctors are still concerned about a few things and are going to take their time before they move her out of the ICU. She is doing a few exercises to build up the strength in her lungs. They have a machine thingy that she blows into every hour.
Dad brought her some of the disgusting flavor fresh juice that my mother likes. It's freshly squeezed juice with apples, carrots, celery, basically a mixture of fruits and vegetables. Mom enjoyed drinking it and was generous enough to insist that her nurse have a sip. Surprisingly, her nurse declined my mom's offer to have a full cup of the juice. lol. ;o) So Mom is showing signs of her own personality again and making people laugh! :o) Hope the day continues to be as good as the morning. :o)
