One Last Visit

I was able to visit my mom one more time this morning before my flight back to Boston. She is making slow but steady progress every day. Because she is unable to sleep for more than an hour or two at a time (general discomfort from being connected to so many tubes and nurses doing blood draws or other checks throughout the day and night, she now show signs of ICU delirium. She has wild and vivid hallucinations which can be very disconcerting. We are told this is not uncommon and that they should abate once she is able to get more sleep.
