That's awesome news Trish!! She hasn't been using her lungs to their full capacity for a long while - the more she moves around, sits up, walks around (if she's able) the deeper she'll breathe and the stonger her lungs will become which will help her better manage her secretions AND build a stronger voice.

You've been a great advocate for your Mom - good job!
