Vickie was alert today and sat in her chair for around three hours,mostly awake and aware. She had a surprise visitor,her cousin Dolores from Washington came to see her,I'm sure Vickie appreciated her visit very much. She was also happy to see Becky's son from Phoenix..she seems to remember everyone,even those she doesn't see very often..which is great to see!! She was pretty tired tonight and seemed to be comfortable and needed some rest.The results from the culture for her infection will be probably be back on Tuesday,hopefully they will be negative so she can continue to get stronger...(Pam-Vickie's sister)
