Mom continues to gain strength. She tells me that she is tired of being in the hospital, and she would like to have more visitors. If you do visit, be aware that, although she probably will recognize you and call you by name, her cognition and short-term memory are still off. She also tires quickly. She sems to enjoy just having someone sitting quietly in the room. The SICU visiting hours are 8:30am-6:00pm. She will probably be released within a few days, and then (hopefully) she will be in Conway--and much easier for most of us to visit.

Evening update: If Martha tells you that she is going to drive herself home from the hospital, don't worry, I have the car keys!
