A "Grandma Ruth" Update

Thank you so much for all of you who have called, commented and prayed. Saturday morning she was a little responsive so they tried to see how she would do breathing on her own and removed the tube. She is sustaining breathing on her own so they are now on a "wait and see". This is the latest update from my aunts on Ruth's hospital Care Page...

"Mom (Ruth) was not as alert today as she was yesterday. She's sleeping more and only occasionally opens her eyes, and was unable to speak today. Although I do think she knew all of us some of the time...

At 7:00 am this morning she was moved to a step-down ICU unit and then this evening around 5:00 pm, she was moved to another ORMC hospital - Lucerne, which is a couple of blocks from ORMC. She is on a progressive critical care unit. We got her settled in the new hospital and met her nurse, then came home to take a little break. We'll go back later."
