Incremental Progress

Mom's orientation to her surroundings has improved. Her short term memory is still spotty, but it has also improved. Her voice is still weak, but it is twice as strong as it was early in the week.

Overview:

Mom is physically in a strong place - compared to where she has been. She is sitting up for some of each day. She is moving arms and legs more and more, and showing more and more strength.

Mom is mentally still in a difficult place. However, she continues to get incrementally better, and incrementally better some more, at her own pace. She is right there in some conversations, and is very sharp. She drifts sometimes, and begins speaking of things which are totally unrelated to the conversation happening in the room. I absolutely feel her awareness has gotten better this week. She still has a distance to go, if she is to return to where she was before her incident.
