Gymnastic maneuvers

This morning we arrived to find that Mom had fallen out of bed last night. The nurse came in around 11 p.m. to find Mom on the floor. They did a CT scan which thankfully was normal, so we feel pretty fortunate. They have switched beds to one that has a bed alarm when she moves too much, so hopefully she won't repeat her gymnastic maneuvers tonight!

We were so excited that Mom and Dad's stake arranged to have stake conference streaming live on the internet so Mom could watch it from the hospital. How thoughtful of them!!! However, the hospital guest internet could not handle such a large load, so Dad, Randy and Cheryl decided to take Mom to Sacrament Meeting downstairs. Unfortunately it was cancelled, but they were still able to take the sacrament.

Afterwards, Mom had physical therapy which was the bright spot in her day. She was able to walk about 225 feet in her walker!!! She was exhausted but it was a wonderful accomplishment!

For the rest of the day Mom wasn't too alert despite having quite a few visitors. She also wasn't much interested in her meals. Up until yesterday, she had been finishing all her food, but struggling to get enough fluids. Yesterday the trend reversed itself and Mom drank fluids but wouldn't eat much. Today she didn't want either.

We left quite early so she could hopefully get a good night's rest. Here's hoping tomorrow she will wake refreshed and ready for a new day!

p.s. We're having technical difficulties with the video from earlier today, so check back in a bit. It's worth the wait!!!
