We're moving in the right direction

Just a few minutes ago mom took her first few sips of water and juice! Her bed has been elevated to a more upright position and she is more alert and talking more :) soon we are hoping that if holds the fluids down, she can actually sit on the edge of the bed and with some physical therapy help, maybe standing later today. She is very cautiously taking small sips hoping to keep it down...nausea is NOT her friend considering all her sutures. Please continue to let people know about the blog so we can keep the good thoughts and prayers coming in on her behalf!
