All is stable here. A goal for today is for Mom to wake up more, and in the ICU it is important to maintain the normality of day and night cycles. So, the blinds are up, and the sun is shining on her sweet face. She did open her eyes a few times this morning and looked at Brian for a good long while (how can you not?).
The staff here (where some time ago Mom worked as a young nurse) is friendly and definitely inspires confidence. Still, we want to get the heck out of here. Our next step is a neurological rehab center -- likely in Traverse City. We're hoping that will happen in the next few days.
A few minutes ago, Dad and Brian left to go Up North, as Dad needs to get back to his daily radiation therapy. He is stoic and very tender with his bride. It will be hard for him to be away.
Your posts, calls, emails, thoughts and prayers are really helpful. Thank you!
