As per Tommy's previous message, I did make it out of the St. Vincent ER and to Mother's room. Her situation has declined since I saw her a couple of days ago. The medical staff is trying to find a balance between brain pressure and other factors to allow her brain to heal. She is far less interactive than a few days ago. She will respond to questions with a nod or a shake but is otherwise not very responsive. Nutrition is a problem, especially since she is far too groggy to eat. If the situation hasn't improved by tomorrow, then they will use a feeding tube again. Please keep the prayers coming.
