Dec. 30 Update

Yesterday it was the breathing tube out and today it's off to Mom's recovery room...bye, bye ICU! She'll be going back to 4B like we hoped!Mom hasn't been able to sleep much the past day or 2 but today she's finally getting some rest today. They had her walking a little earlier, and she'll be walking a little more later to get her ready for her move up to the 4th floor. Mom is definitely looking more like herself...today it appears all her swelling in her limbs has gone down since her arms and legs are back to the size they were before...most of the fluid is now out. You can tell she is definitely feeling better because she asking for things like a mirror, a toothbrush/toothpaste, comb, etc. :-)
