The family (in shifts) spent the day with Monica. She continues to improve and went for a walk to the chapel and garden in the afternoon. The neurologist was pleased with how she is doing and we are 99% sure that she will be sent home tomorrow. The hospital (specifically the speech therapist and physical therapist) will evaluate her tomorrow to see if she needs any follow up referrals in those areas.
Her sense of humour is good - She has been asked a hundred times what the date is and if she knows where she. Sometimes the answers weren't so good but she has been doing well the last two days. - Greg joked last night that we ask the nurse "What time the next spaceship leaves?" Monica didn't miss a beat and asked the nurse exactly that when she was next tested. We all had a good laugh at the nurse's reaction.
We hope to get the pathology results on the tumour by Wednesday. We understand that, once those results are known, an appointment will be set up with Cancer Agency and we will learn more about the treatment recommended for her type of tumour and long-term prognosis prospects.
