My mom has had a horrible day. Which in turn makes all of us have a bad day. She has not slept for I don't know how long. Days!! She slept for 1-1/2 hours last night. She is thrashing around in her bed. They got her a new bed that has a netted canopy around it so that she can't climb over the side rails. I think it is harder to watch her like this than it was to watch her lay there and sleep and wonder what's wrong with her. She looks so distraught (sp?). It hurts your heart to watch her. Being anxious and restless is part of a brain injury but my family is not sure that is all that's going on. She had so many prior problems (depression, seizures, west nile) going into this that now we are wondering if any of those are causing her distress now. They switched her trach tube so she can talk but she wouldn't do it today. She is so different than yesterday. She would smile, laugh and mouth words to you and now all she does is kick her legs and roll back and forth. Keep praying for her.
