From Mel: This morning Martha was as awake and aware as I've seen her. It's quite a change from seeing her at the end of the day, after work, when she's tired or sleeping.
While I was there, she had several visitors: Mom, Mo, Bob, Alea and Julie. The nursing staff have been very good about allowing three visitors at a time instead of limiting us to two.
Martha's left hand and arm are functioning well enough that she can rub her eyes and scratch her left ear. If you try to stop her from adjusting the cover over the trache tube, there's definite resistance and she makes a face at you. A couple of times I've seen her move her mouth as if she's trying to talk. After we all left, I spoke with Dave and he said she can wink as well.
Thanks to everyone for the positive energy and good thoughts. We appreciate it.

She definitely showed emotion when I asked her about the football games and showed interest when I said that I had made meatballs for Dave and the girls.
