It was one month ago today that my mom was in her accident. The days have dragged by but the month has flown by. I was able to spend all day with her since Karl was home from work. We accomplished a lot. By the time I got there PT had already gotten her up and into a chair. She took three steps (totally assisted) but three steps none the less. Her nurse and I did some much needed maintanence on her hair and nails. We cut her hair...EEK. We had to shave it from the top of her ears down because it was so matted. Then we cut the rest up to her earlobes. It looks much better but I had definately better keep my day job. She didn't talk much until about a half hour before I left because she was so tired from her therapy.
Last night I asked her what my kids names are. She thought really hard for a minute. I said what is my little boys name that you play with all the time. She thought and then said Hudson. I said that's my babies name but what is my little boys name. You call him your little man. She was quiet for seriously like a minute and she was thinking hard. Then she said... Sunny? It was hilarious. I was like "Mom that's my dog but atleast you've got the right family." I asked her what Seth's little girls name is and she said right off "Madi".
She has made a lot of progress. We even got orders to be moved out of the ICU today. HOORAY!! But it didn't happen before I had to leave at 6:45 because they didn't have a room ready for her. She has to have 24 hr one on one care so she doesn't fall out of bed so staffing has been an issue to get her out of the ICU.
Lots of fun, ah.
