Visiting Mom in the hospital

At home with my family to visit Mom in the hospital. Since getting in the hospital she's shown real improvement. There are currently no bleeds in her brain, and they managed to dissolve the clots in her lungs. She's talking more, she's sitting up, you can tell she feels better. My God, she's a tough lady. But she's still not okay, she's dependent on oxygen and still so weak she can't stand up on her own. That's a terrible way to be. And it worries me, I don't know if there's any way for her to come back from that. I don't know if it means she's just going to be stuck in that place until something happens that they can't stabilize, or if that means things are just plain going downhill. Mom and Dad say I should go back to Boston for now and plan on coming back soon, so I guess that's what I'll do. I'm relieved she's not crashing right now, but I don't know if we can hope for things getting much better.
