I took Gregory up to Chico last night to see my mom at the hospital. She's doing much better, her mouth isn't drooping near as much, and she's speaking less slurred. For a while she had been complaining that her ankle was swollen, and now the swelling is gone. Was it from the thing in her head? Who knows. I'm just glad she's doing better.
