Hello Family and Friends
This is a late Monday evening update.
Mom's surgeries for the tracheotomy and feeding tube went well. Her condition is stable.
Mum continues to require a ventilator to breathe. She is conscious, and responding to questions but unable to speak. Mum communicates through eye movements and nods.
The medical staff do not know the long-term implications of the West Nile virus for Mum nor for the other patients with similar neurological symptoms. We all move one day at a time.
Mum is not receiving any visitors other than immediate family at this time. However, we continue to appreciate each one of your messages. We read Mum the cards and e-mail messages. Mum listens attentively. Your messages remind us of how life goes on around us in the midst of this very focussed time in our lives.
We regret that we cannot respond personally to the many e-mail and phone messages that we receive. Thank you all for your ongoing care and prayers.
Nancy, Janet and Catherine
