Mom is having trouble with her throat. she can't make voice sounds anymore, there appears to be no damage just she has lost the ability to do it. this ties into her ability to swallow. if she drinks some water half will go into her stomach the other half could go into her lungs. There is a chance that trake will never come out. They are also looking into putting a feeding tube in her side, they then can remove the tube going into her stomach through her nose. She doesn't talk, she'll mouth the words but nothing will come out.
She doesn't have a lot of energy, trying to get off of her bed and standing takes a lot out of her. she's exhausted after doing that. The infection that got her into the hospital in the first place seems to have passed or is almost finished going through her body.
I don't see the chance of my mom leaving the hospital for the rest of the summer.

Sorry to hear this. My prayers continue for your mom.
Darren Your Mom is a great friend to many of us in Cancer care, we were wondering if there is any chance that you could bring laptop up with you one evening and while you were there visiting with her we could have a prayer chat, we did this every monday night and Sly loved it she always made a point to be there for it. If you can set something up let us know.
thanks Lynne
Give your mom my love

Please let Sylvia know so many miss her and are praying for her and for you men also.
The lap top sounds like a wonderful idea if she has the energy to use it. It would be quick communication to many of us who are at a distance!
and no straining her voice.
Love from Anita and your Crossroads family
Hi again
We know Sly isn't strong enough....
we thought one evening while you was there you could get on and join our prayer chat.
Just an idea knowing how much this meant to Sly.
And for her other groups also a way to communicate.
Prayers continue
Lennie from CCN
