Dad, Amy and I saw Mom this morning for an hour. Her eyes seem to be more swollen, so she can't open them. We played the recorder of Derek and Anna for her again, but no response. Barry is taping a new one right now, we'll see if Anna puts her newest word on there "Dammit". That will make my mom's eyes roll!
The custom made halo and back brace will be one piece. It opens when she is laying down for bathing and cleaning. I haven't seen it yet, I am going over in a few minutes to make sure I'm there for the procedure of attaching it to her head. They will do that in the xray department, which is different than they usually do. The nurses say that most times they do in in bed in the ICU. I'm sure they want to make sure her neck is aligned when they attach it with the screws.
No other news besides the nurse again said that she thinks Mom is breathing pretty well on her own so may have the tube out sooner than the neuro doc said yesterday. Mom will start PT on Sunday or Monday on her good side.
Amy and Dad drove a rental car up to Challis today. They will pick up Sylvia, talk to the sheriff's office, get the rest of their stuff, and camp out to look for Rita. If needed, they have a hotel in Challis and will continue to look tomorrow.
We will be changing hotels tomorrow to one that accepts cats. Later this afternoon I will post that address and number for calls and correspondence.
