Dear Amy,

My mum is holding up alright. She was very sick to begin with, and has really come through this better than anyone expected. She has had some pain issues and she is very tired, all the time, but all in all she is feeling pretty good. She is very weak and can only move around an hour at a time...hoping that her stamina will return and she can begin physical therapy & speech therapy soon. She is growing impatient with the feeding tube although she can't even drink water because of the pain! We're hoping that slowly, slowly things will get better. Thank you so much for asking!

Samantha
