Mom has been doing a lot of physical therapy the last couple of days. They are working on her surgically repaired arm and having her do leg strengthening exercisies like standing up. No walking yet that I know of. Yesterday they had her do a swallowing test to see if she was ready to eat real food. She didn't quite do well enough to get off the feeding tube but I'm sure that will improve in the next couple days.

Mom had a rough night a couple of nights ago. I guess the nurses came in to move her and left her in an uncomfortable place, when Mom asked to be moved again to a more comfortable position the nurse refused. Eventually this made Mom cry because the nurse wouldn't help her out. So, of course, Dad had a conversation with the head of nurses about it and she will not be having that nurse again.

Dad said that the doctors are planning on having Mom moved to the rehabilitation clinic at Mercy Capitol next week. He said he took a tour and that it seemed like a nice place. Also, the Des Moines crew (Dad, Elena, Gabe, Colleen) went to see the car yesterday. They said it is incredible that anyone came out of there. Elena took pictures so I imagine those will be forthcoming.

That's all the news for now. Keep on truckin' or dancin' or prancin' or whatever it is that you do.
