Monday

Maureen [sis] called me earlier today to say that Mom/Mary Jo had a very good day today. She was up walking to the hall and back with little to no help and her appetite was returning. The excruciating pain that flared up yesterday afternoon is now under control. That pain was due mostly to the new tubes that were inserted through her back to drain the fluid that was collecting around the lungs. Tuesday and Wednesday her friends and neighbors will take turns visiting and checking in on her. Thank you for all your support these past few days.
