Dec. 31 Update

Well, my sweet husband has us all hooked up in Mom's room...we've got Dave's laptop here now (and JHH has wireless access) and he also brought a CD player so my mom can listen to music. Mom is having a sonogram done right now to check for bloodclotting in her legs. We hoped to be able to leave this weekend, but we'll have to see since it's taking a little longer for Mom's breathing to get back to normal. She is enjoying all the things she can eat and drink now (liquid diet for now). We have some visitors coming over the next 2 days so that will help time pass too.
