More ups and downs:
the ups: it was actually sunny yesterday in PDX and there was evidently a nice sunset on view from the 7th floor. Mom's friend Phyllis mentioned that it would be great to get Mom in a wheelchair and over to the lounge where she could see it. Mom's awesome nurse Michael got right on it and she was able to soak in the view. (Phyl said the colors didn't come out in the cell phone pic she sent)
the downs: the docs still weren't satisfied with the labs enough to give mom her 11 pm dose, which was very discouraging for her. they did give her the 7 am dose but they're very hesitant to give her much more. she MIGHT get the 3 pm today and then she's done. (If she does, she'd make it to her goal of 10 doses....).
Evidently she took an Ambien last night to try and help her sleep and it has hit her much harder than usual (not surprising given all she's been through) so this morning the report is she's very groggy with slurred speech. Hopefully after sleeping it off she's be back to her normal feeling-awful self. :-)
