Today my mom was weaned off the last blood pressure medication. She took a very restful, long nap today. My cousins visited her for a few hours this evening. They spent over an hour and a half moving her limbs. My mom was very responsive and appeared to be loving the physical therapy. My cousin told her all she wanted to do was give her the biggest hug and my mom squeezed her eyes tight, like she was giving her eye hug. The night nurse said she was able to sit my mom on the edge of her bed for 10 minutes and she wanted to keep going.

ICU Day 18
The edema seems to be improving in my mom's hands. It was the first thing I noticed after her event yesterday.
