Not much to report. Dan and I visited Estelle both Saturday morning and Sunday morning - but had no success in waking her either time.
We did speak to the head nurse on Saturday and she said that, physically, Mom is doing as well as can be expected. The cellulitis has cleared up, her eye looks much better and her vitals are stable. She is back on oxygen virtually all of the time again and that's a bit worrisome to us but she does well with a minimum of O2 and she's been dependent on it before and then managed to come off of it without difficulty. Her feeding tube site is still leaking slightly but it's been doing that since it was first inserted back in July so it's unfortunate but it doesn't seen to be anything that that staff or the doctors at either place were too concerned about.
More worrisome is the fact that she is not responding most of the time. Again, we are hoping that it is just a matter of being worn out from the multiple infections and the resultant treatments and that proper rest and time will get her back to where she was two weeks ago.
She looks better each day....more color in her face and resting much more peacefully than when she was hospitalized so that's a plus.
Wish the news was better today but maybe tomorrow it will be.
