Things here are as well as well can be. Mom was taking a medication called Abilify - to slow her down and it did just that. So much so, that she was catatonic. John and Pat saw her one day and knew immediately she was overmedicated. Between communication with the doctors and nurses, we were able to get her off alot of the antideppressants she had been taking. This has helped to wake her up a bit more and make her aware of her surroundings. It will take a few weeks to truly cleanse her body of the effects of this certain medicine, used for those with bipolar disorder.
Her nurse, Michelle, said that most mornings she is up and out of bed trying to put her clothes when she walks in to check on her. This is good news, of course. But she is still relegated to a wheel chair, as she has lost alot of muscle capacity.
I am trying to get down to San Antonio to have lunch and dinner with her a few times a week. She is still not eating very well but if someone sits with her, she will attempt to eat more.
Theres not much to report but its something :)
