Sunday update; Dateline St. Mary's Hospital:

beepbeepbeepdebeepdebeepbeepdebeep.

(above loosely translated from memory, YMMV )

So mom is at St. Mary's and the NG tube is doing it's work helping drain the old dead bad cookies from her stomach.  The nurse told me that the overnight staff saw two BM's so that is good news, means that the blockage is not "compacted" and should resolve in a couple of days. They are hearing bowel sounds, so that is good news also.

Physical therapy came in and worked with her and she was cooperative and stood a couple (3) times with assistance.

She's actually looking pretty good, good color, obviously uncomfortable but not as bad as last time at all.

Her friend and former coworker, Mariah, found her and paid a visit and she was very glad to see him!

Tentative plan is to keep her for a "couple days" and really monitor what is going on and then hopefully back to the Towers  Maybe by her birthday. If not we'll have some kind of celebration at the Hospital.
