6/15: Mom underwent surgery today to remove her feeding tube from her nose and place it directly into her stomach. This is to prevent her nose from ulcerating. She sailed through the surgery and was even opening her eyes shortly after she returned. Yesterday she was very quiet and motionless, most likely due to recovering from her seizures. She was much more active today, moving her feet and opening her eyes prior to the surgery. Today my aunt and uncle said their goodbyes as they are returning to the states tomorrow and it’s back to just my brother and I. I think she was doing quite well today, we will hope for more improvements tomorrow. The doctor said something about doing an ECG test on her to monitor her brainwaves. We are hoping for a positive result. She had a really sweet roommate until today when he moved down the hall but we visited with him and finally found someone to translate what he was telling us when he was in the room. He said she looks much better today and he kept an eye on her for us when we weren’t able to be there with her. He said he prays for us every day. I will say the people of Braga Portugal are absolutely incredible and have welcomed us with open arms and hearts!❤️.
