Last Thursday I had a great visit with mom. She was able to sit up in the chair and visit with me for over an hour. It has seemed like such along time since she was able to that. It made my heart happy. I don't recall what we chatted about and I don't think it mattered, because today my spirits were lifted, that she was going to make it and win this battle. As compared to yesterday when I was mad and angry, wondering why she had to through so much. It is such an emotional roller coaster.
Her Sisters Christy and Julie also came for a visit that day. I was glad they got to see her doing better. When Julie arrived, mom was just getting ready to get into the shower, so we told her would we wait in the lobby and come back in a while, after she was finished. A little while later, from the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of my mom as she walked down the hall to greet us. I was so surprised, as the last few days I have only seen her laying in bed, looking so weak and defeated. She was so happy to see her sisters and I'm so glad she was feeling well enough to visit with them. It did everyone's heart well. I left the hospital that night wondering if this was the turn around we've been waiting for.
