There was some improvement today, but nothing massive.
Carla and I visited early this morning. Helen was much more with us.
This evening Nicole visited with Helen before we arrived and found her very much aware of what was happening. She remembered Hannah visiting last night and asked about the grand kids and other family members.
PT was not able to do all the planned activities as Helen's HH screen was not within the correct parameters. They have given her two units of blood hoping that will bring the hemoglobin level up to the acceptable levels. They are also giving breathing treatments to help keep the lungs clear.
The nurses are very good working with her to get food and liquid into her. Helen does not like fluid so that has always been a challenge.
David is doing so so, very lonely and not sure what to say to her when visiting. Since he doesn't say much to us either it is really hard to know what is going on in his mind. When she was very confused it was obvious he did not understand at all what was going on, even when we tried to explain.
We are trusting each day to be an improvement. We trust she will be able to move into the rehab program.
