Hi!
Mom was a little tired today as she had to go get some tests done. I think she was able to get out of her little corner in the ICU and travel down the corridors of the hospital today. She has been able to rest in the ICU despite the constant noises, people walking around and lights. I imagine it's really hard to sleep for a significant stretch of time. Dad, Pratap kaka and I found her asleep this morning when we went to visit and managed to not wake her. When I went to visit in the afternoon she was sitting in a chair. She was pretty exhausted from her excursion to the place were they did some tests for her pancreas problem. I rubbed her head and talked to her a little while she listened quietly. In the evening Dad, Pratap Kaka and I were able to go see her again. She was lying back in bed and had all of us do some kind of service to her: rub her head, her feet or hold her hand. She says she's got to take advantage of us being there. :o) She then proceeded to tell Dad and Pratap Uncle not to come in the evening and then turned to me and said that "Tare beeju su kaam che, tu raat na avje." ;o) I sat with mom tonight and I sang a few prayers and she listened. I met her wonderful nurses and friends that she has made while she has been in the ICU. She has been doing her breathing exercises regularly which is really good. Hopefully with God's grace and everyone's prayers, her recovery will continue in this path. :o)
