I got to see Mummy 4 times today as I am home for the day. She is still on the respirator and will be on it for a few days. According to her lung doctor, her lungs look alright. I just got back from the 8:30 visitation half-hour and she looks like she is sleeping and resting right now. Mummy just needs to rest and let her body heal. Doctors are concerned about her liver and her pancreas and they did a few tests and are coming up with a plan. Mom has some jaundice and her pancreas is swollen. The nature of these two things is that it will resolve itself in due time. They are giving her gut rest by not giving her food and switched out a drug that might have been the cause for the swelling of the pancreas. She is sedated and rested most of the day. She is still able to hear us when we come into the room and was able to acknowledge us by opening her eyes a few times and raising her eyebrows and arms. This night Mom and I did Ohm Namah Shivay japs (she in her head and me aloud) for a while and we said a few other stotras. Dad, me, Pratap kaka gave her a head massage earlier as she likes it. We had some support of friends and family friends in the waiting room waiting for us when we arrived at the hospital today. My mom's nurses have all been really great. They do such a great job and are so dedicated to their patients. Mom is a real favorite for some of them. :o) Everyone has really been amazing through this hard time. Please continue your prayers/positive vibrations for my Mom. She is a fighter!!
