Vickie had her Saturday morning shower and then spent several hours in the sunroom, in her wheel chair. After resting for a while she began writing, without prompting. She filled a page with two or three word questions and statements. Some of it was legible despite being tiny and very unorganized. On a second page she wrote the names of relatives and friends followed by "home phone #" or "cell phone #". I said the numbers and she wrote them out very clearly. She couldn't remember the numbers including her own. We'll overlook that for now.
She still has a fever, but not as severe as it's been the last week. She was more alert and responsive than we've seen in over a week. The contrast from Friday is amazing.
