Mom is doing great today! The neurosurgeon was just checking on Mom and indicated that, if all goes well, she will likely be released to rehab on Monday. She is talkative but not completed oriented--although not entirely disoriented either. The neurosurgeon and nursing staff encourage that we strive to keep her oriented through conversation by gently reframing, correcting, or asking her questions about anything she has said that doesn't fully make sense. I brought the Log Cabin Democrat for her to read today, and she has been reading (and really enjoying) the cards you all have sent.
