She's awake!

I'm not sure how it happened considering that they are still giving her the Ativan, but Mom was awake this morning when Dad and I came in! She knew who we were, and was able to carry on a normal conversation with us for several minutes!  Yay!

I forgot to mention this in my blog yesterday, but the hospital's Internist (Botts) listened to Mom's abdomen with his stethescope and reported that there were a few sounds like her bowels might be trying to "wake up" and "move" again!  That is awesome news, and coupled with Mom's awakeness today, we are truly stoked! 

My brother has been calling every day to check on Mom. Last night, he told me that he might be able to come today for a two-day visit! So, I am keeping my cell phone close so that I don't miss his call and know what time to meet him at the airport.

Accompanying this blog entry is a photo of the beautimous placemats that grace each tray of food.  I love the colors and the pretty flowers on them!
