Wednesday, March 29th

Today has been a good day for Mom. She was able to rest on her own. She is usually very hyper and can get anxious at times but the nurses were able to calm her down. I just got off of the phone with the nurse and she said that Mom breathed on her own for a significant time today. They are letting her rest through the night and still have her hooked up to the respirator. They will try to let her breath on her own again tomorrow. Her blood tests didn't show an infection in the blood so that's a good sign. Her pancreas is doing a little better her kidneys are a little worse. They will look at the blood test numbers again tomorrow and the doctors/nurses will see what they need to do. All in all today has been a good, restful day for mom. They didn't sedate her too much today so she was able to interact a little while Dad and Pratap kaka when they visited.
She's been asking for ice but its not good for her. The nurses explain to her the reason why they cannot give her ice and ask her to be patient and she understands. She nods her head and resumes resting. She's not fighting it and is letting her body rest. It's relatively good days such as this one that we all need to remember and optimistically look forward to when things get a bit rocky. I know everyone keeping my Mum in their prayers/thoughts. So keep up the good work! :o)

lots of love,
