Hello all,
Grandma had her nurse introduced to her on day 16, monday. The nurse seems to be a professional one as she wears her hospital dress at home, she's very disciplined, does not want more than 2 visitors at a time and only for 10mins, she said she will speak to my grandma most of the time,etc... Mom is at home now, she's arranging her own house routines, laundry, food,etc for dad and herself.
I've been through Sandy's message referencing Bob, been through the photos, videos. Ama

Hello all,
It was day 14 of my precious grandma's stroke yesterday, saturday...I've spent 3 hrs with her, and she was doing ok, she had more fruit juice than the previous day and she was able to swallow much more easily my mom said. She was also more awake, and I did not like it, as the more she's awake the more she gazes through the room, the ceiling, etc...and when I tried to ask her some 10 questions, yes-no questions, all the answers were the same, and that really saddened me and I real

My mom told me that in the morning at 9:00am abouts, grandma had her first food via her

Hello all,
Day9 at the hospital went really well, although I was not there full time, as I had my own physical therapy for 1 hour for my AC seperated grade3 shoulder, my mom, aunt and uncle has been there with grandma.

Hello all,
Day7-8 with my grandma in the hospital was great! I've seen her move her right foot at the night of day7, she also can move her left arm quite freely and can raise it to full extent now but we are still keeping her left arm tied to the hospital bed in case she wants to remove her nose feeder pipe. She also farted, yawned, listened to me reading short stories to her with her eyes open, and had even waved to her visitors on day8. She followed my father from 10m keeping constant ey
