Wait and see

Mom had a good night last night with few interruptions (other than the phlebotomist from hell). She's had to sit at a 70 - 90 degree angle even when she sleeps. Laying down at a 30 degree incline last night made her cough and throw up again. As far as the x-rays and tests from yesterday, everything looks good. Dr Ott wants her to stay today so they can keep a close eye on her. He may let her go home as soon as tonight depending on how she does. Her job today is to be up and active as if she were home. So, she'll be walking more laps around the 10th floor to help her regain her strength.
