Mom did well overnight. She has no new issues. We won't know how the head injury has truly affected her until she is well enough to come of the ventilator (breathing machine). She will have a repeat head CT tomorrow. Also tomorrow, she will have orthopedic surgery to repair her humerus (upper arm) fracture. She will likely get a new cental line (think of this as a big IV) today or tomorrow. IV sites are hard to find on her arms because of the swelling.

This weekend they will begin passive physical therapy to help her range of motion.

Earlier today the nurse weaned her sedation for a brief time and mom was able to move her right arm and both legs. This is a good sign. However, as mentioned above we will have to wait for awhile to see how she will do neurologically.
