Hi Y'all ,

Good news!  Mom was moved out of the intermediate care unit into room 280 of the Skilled Nursing Unit (SNU) where she will get more concentrated rehab.  She will stay there for about 10 days.  After that she will go to a private rehab facility for an undetermined period of time, which we are told averages 2 to 6 weeks.  After that we will see where she is before making any additional decisions.

She was quite alert today and moving quite a bit.  We put her glasses on her and she perked right up.  The neurologist told us that the CAT scan from last Monday evening showed still some swelling in the brain, but since she has been much more alert and active, he said the swelling has probably gone down.  He did not want her moved to the rehab unit until the swelling was resolved. 

We will keep you informed as to her progress.

Thanks so much for your prayers and support,

Anna and Eddie
