Next Step, Good Step

At the morning visit, the nurse said they were going to try to get her into a chair this afternoon. She had been on the lowest setting of the ventilator since 5:00 and was very tired, but after a rest (and some meds), they would likely try to get her into the chair today. That's a huge step.

While we were there, they also turned on one of the features of her bed. It's a new-fangled thing that inflates and deflates and moves and... among other things... vibrates. Kinda like a super-charged Magic Fingers bed. Aunt I doesn't like it, but it jiggles her juices around. That's apparently good for her. Like I said, she doesn't like it, but it does something good. She's supposed to be jiggled for 15 minutes every 2 hours. Riiiiight....
