Mom's update, upswing.

General
God be praised! Mom is doing much better today. She had a bowel blockage that they were finally able to clear. She's eating again.
PTs and CNAs are finally coordinating. Therapists are instructing the nurses how and when to get her out of the bed, and that she should get the pain medication first so that she's not screaming in agony each time. They finally got their shit together, and mom was able to get in and out of bed without pain. She's doing good today, and is now napping.
Next time I go down to visit, I have to bring back all the gowns my sister bought her. She asked me to bring them last time, but now wants me to take them back. My sister bought her more hospital gowns than I have winter clothes... Then again, I don't have much in the way of winter wardrobe at the moment, but she bought so much stuff!
Anyways, I hope and pray with the new coordination between PT and CNA, mom can have an easier time focusing on recovery. This really should have been day one though.
