Compressing three days into one post.
Estelle was very much "not with it," this weekend. She did not wake and she did not respond to us at all.
Dan took a few hours off this morning and we stopped in around 10:30AM. To our delight, she was very awake and very much "with it." She initiated small bits of conversation and replied to whatever she heard, although sometimes she was a bit fuzzy on details. She also got a chance to talk to her good friend, Meryl, and to Meryl's grandson, Rafi, on the telephone which she thoroughly enjoyed.
The only down side of today was that she was, once again, striking and rubbing herself in the face. She also seems to spend a good deal of time pulling and pushing at the tube site but the nurses have put a soft sock-mitten on her hand and are keeping the site covered with blankets and a pillow so that she cannot accidentally grasp it and pull it out again.
Hopefully, when we return Thursday to celebrate her birthday she will still be in the same alert mood.
