In regular ward now

Mom is in a general ward now. Still talks very poorly. still on feeding tube as she can't swallow well. She's sick of being in the hospital.

Doctors are still deciding if they should insert a feeding tube straight into her stomach or not, it will all depend if she can regain her ability to talk and swallow.

if you go to visit her do not feed her ice or water, you are not doing her a favor. feeding her water will put fluids straight into her lungs and just makes things worse.

still extremely weak, working with physiotherapy to gain strength so she can walk.
