Step Down
Mom moved into a step-down unit yesterday. She's medically stable, and the step-down unit is going to wean her off the respirator and start physical therapy.
She seems to be aware of what's going on, and she's frightened. The respirator prevents her from speaking. We won't know if she's able to speak until they take it out. It'll probably be about three weeks.
Work has been a godsend. I've been very busy, and they've been kind about my long lunches.
My cold ranges from unbearable to barely noticeable.
I'm going home Sunday morning.

This sounds like something of an improvement? We'll all hope for the best.
Wishing you and your mom well.
Yes, mom, come on home.
