Angela's big accomplishment today was being able to stand up from the toilet in her room by herself. It is rather low, making it more difficult, and she is very proud of this new ability.
Yesterday and today she walked, pushing her wheelchair instead of her walker (which is a bit more difficult but necessary to carry oxygen) from her room to the lobby of the hospital. I'm not good with distances, but I'll bet it is over 300 feet.
She has continued with her physical therapy exercises in spite of the holiday and is looking forward to getting some new ones tomorrow.
Her jaundice is not improving, in spite of the IV fluids and discontinuing the Prilosec. There are two other candidate medications, and the doctor said he is considering stopping or decreasing them, but he was not certain yet that she did not still need them.
She is in good spirits and has been enjoying supper outside at a picnic table.
We continue to thank God for her recovery and to pray that the cause of her jaundice can be determined and corrected.
