Wednesday

Visited Martha today with a few of her friends from the D&C. She was wide awake and pretty alert for most of the time we were there. When we first arrived, I wasn’t too sure if she even recognized Linda or I but when I told her we would have been here earlier but the Executive Committee Meeting ran a bit long today, she looked over at us and rolled her eyes and head back-- at that point, we knew she was with us! She just loved looooooooooong EC meetings. NOT.

Throughout our visit, she was stretching her left arm quite a bit and while we were speaking to her, I had my hand on top of her mesh glove/pad and she was squeezing my finger quite a bit. It seems both her left arm and hand seem to be very strong. I also noticed that she was moving her head a bit more. We also received a nice smile from Martha after Flynn shared a funny joke before we left.

As an earlier post mentioned, they’re only letting two in the room at a time on the 5th floor. They seem to be really enforcing this rule, since she’s in a room with a few other patients.

Keep your prayers and positive thoughts coming!
