My apologies for not updating you all frequently.  Mom was moved out of the ICU over the weekend.  She was moved to a transitional unit.  She continues to try and gain strength but is still very weak.  She doesn’t have much of an appetite at all.  She still has drains in her chest.  We are praying that the drainage in her chest will decrease enough so her chest tubes can come out.  Because those drainage tubes do cause her pain.  She has been up and walking with assistance.
