I didn't notice any change or improvement from yesterday. However, the physical therapists said they were able to communicate with Vickie verbally. She was asked if she was experiencing any pain. She mouthed that she had pain in her lower back.
Today there's no fever but the lung congestion persists. This prompts the staff to suction her, a process she obviously doesn't like.
I gave the wrong name of the condition Vickie has. A website I used to gain info is

Not very upbeat but it's the reality we will have to live with.
