I just realized that the last two blogs seem contradictory. I shall now try to
explain a bit. Mom was in good spirits in the ICU on Monday after the
breathing tubes and some other apparatus was removed; she was transferred
to a post-surgical floor on Tuesday and seemed to be doing rather well, per
those who saw her that day. On Wednesday, however, there was a distinct
decline in Mom's spirits. This continued into today. Mom is very upset about
her extreme physical weakness and is depressed. Nobody could get her to eat
today, even though various foods were offered by several family members. I
don't know what the next step will be if Mom continues to refuse food, but I'll
likely find out tomorrow. None of this behavior is abnormal for somebody who
has undergone this very serious surgery. The good news for the day is that Mom
perked up a tiny bit when her grandsons, David & Michael, visited this evening.
More tomorrow. Thanks again for the prayers and positive thoughts.
