Family: Mom is resting now in the hospital, she is in room 4102 Akron General Medical Center. they will keep her in the hospital for a few days. we will be meeting/speaking with a neurologist, a gastro guy and some others. they will do the cookie (swallow) test and will talk to us about the feeding tube etc... Monday at the latest.



Mom has a urinary tract infection now and was very dehydrated (dry to the bone) according to the hospital. Mom has had multiple bags of fluids by IV and had gained back her color and such before we left her tonight. Her attending nurse is a redhead named Jamie, she is on duty till 7.30 AM and said feel free to call her as needed, she will be there all night.

We will speak with the doctors on Monday and get full updates out.
