Tuesday March 12

My mom and dad visited today.  Just a few things to report:

• Another more quiet day, but Grandma is doing well.  She was sleepy at times, but she was alert and knew what was going on, happy, etc.
• My dad put some music on her laptop for her to listen to, and she was SO happy to listen to that, even moving her arm to the music and "conducting" a little!  I think this was some organ music she received on CD in the mail last Monday from a friend in the Netherlands.  Perfect timing!  Music is fantastic for recovery from all sorts of brain issues/trauma.
• Mom reports a nice woman from the rehab center came to visit, and talked about Grandma being transferred there soon.  Not sure when exactly that will be yet.
• They've found that Tylenol helps a lot for Grandma's restless legs, so that should give her some relief.  If it was keeping her up at night, then this will hopefully give her some rest.
• Mom says she talked to the neurologist who said that the drowsiness is normal and will continue for weeks or months, part of the healing process.
