Mom had her first 2 meals here in the NSICU...the first was last night - beef broth, that Theresa and I funneled into a cup so Mom could sip it with a straw...she really liked it :) she said it almost reminded her of coffee, which has always been a part of Mom's morning routine. Also there was red jello, which seemed like heaven on earth, "nice and sweet" she informed us :)
This morning Mom was allowed solid food! She had a few bites of French toast and some pineapple. Also some OJ and cranberry juice, but the real highlight was the cofffeeee :) just a few sips but Mom really enjoyed it. She even held the mug herself for a minute (although we made sure she didn't dose off and spill it), it was probably one of the most normal moments of these past few days, watching Mom sip her coffee.
She's the strongest woman I know that's for sure. This has been a roller coaster for all of us, really only made better by your love, prayers and support. The four of us are so thankful to have such a loving and close knit core of family and friends. We really can't thank you enough.
