Mother's Day was quiet at The Walker, there are no therapy sessions on Sundays. Piper was sick so she couldn't visit, but Gem and I brought mom some chocolates. She took one and asked "now how are we going to replace that?"
Mom is eager to get back to our house and install the bird feeder, her Mother's Day gift from Kathy. Unless there is something awesome in the mailbox today, Jimmer is feeling crappy right now.
Mom was walking with assistance again today and she's alert, sitting up straight and making sense.
I hate to write about mom's bad days until all of her test results are in. I was convinced she would snap back again after last week, I have never seen her so weak and tired if she wasn't fighting something, but some of her team wasn't so sure. They reminded us that mom has many underlying health issues and wanted me to be prepared if she couldn't find the energy to stand and walk again. I was relieved when the x-rays showed that the pneumonia hadn't completely cleared, it explained the weakness. It looks like mom will be back to her baseline soon, which is walking with a walker and a little assistance from me, sitting, helping to transfer, and feeding herself. She is easy to care for then and I only need help from Heidi when we leave the house.
