Mon Mar 7th 7:45

Sunday was a quiet day for Bev, Just Sherri and I during the day and Bev's sister Jackie in the evening.  During the early part of the day Bev was very alert, she was trying to talk, complaining about a sore back and wanting her legs rubbed.  Later in the day she spent most of her time asleep. Bev is only on the ventilator at night now and the amount of time on it each night is being reduced.  Bev's upper left arm is not healing properly. The plate that is used to hold the bone in place is screwed to the bone with 4 screws above the break and 4 screws below the break.  The 4 screws below the break have somehow worked themselves loose and the break is no longer aligned properly. This is putting pressure on the nerve going to the lower arm, hand and fingers. If left to heal the way it is Bev may not regain full use of her left hand.  The doctors are going to operate this week to replace the plate with a longer one and insert new screws.
