Take Me To Lunch

I know Internet, I didn't write yesterday and judging by the numbers you are all clamoring for an update so here goes.

On Tuesday the doctors decided to make an attempt to improve Mom's lung function. To do this they had Mom cough and sucked fluid out of her lungs. It took a good part of the morning, but eventually they got enough fluid out that Mom's lung function improved to the point where they could turn the ventilator down from the full-on setting that it had been on. That is certainly good news. Today there was no real action on the medical front.

On another note, a lawyer who has been working with Gabe and Dad stopped by yesterday to get some paperwork squared away. To complete the paperwork they needed Mom to give her consent by making her mark, which in her case would be an "X." Once all had been explained and it was clear Mom understood they gave her the pen to make her mark, instead of making her mark she started writing. The message contents? Her full name? No. The message was "take me to lunch." Sometimes I think my Mother has a twisted sense of humor.

That's the news. We'll talk, er, write at you more tomorrow.
