Sue is not doing well. She is still disoriented, cannot communicate beyond "Yes" and "No," often doesn't recognize Chris, Shelly, Shirley, or me. Her Springfield neighbor, Leslie, visited recently, and Sue did not know her. All the tests the house physician ordered have come back negative. There is no apparent underlying cause for her condition. Sometime this past week, the BJEC therapists stopped working with her because it is just too difficult. She sleeps a lot and mostly refuses to eat. Chris and I are seeking a long-term skilled nursing facility for her. BJEC is a great place for rehab. For long-term care? Not so great.
Based on Sue's history (second only to Bill Clinton for come-backs), we are not abandoning hope. However, the bad seizure she had was on April 15, so her situation is dire.
