First time I've done this but I would love positive vibe or prayers or white light sent to my mother

85. I was there today and on her monitor was a yellow band that said, "Irregular HB" which

I found out mean irregular heart beat. Well I asked the nurse if I could play some music for her and she said she thought it was a good idea. I swear after only about 45 seconds of that music the yellow band went away and only came back for a short time when the doctor was there asking her a bunch of questions and trying to get her to do things.

Of course I have not mentioned her boyfriend who is a first class ass. He complained when I went to put the music on and when I went out to the nurses station and came back he had turned it off! And he said "she doesn't want it on". She does not communicate that well yet! And I put a picture collage together and gave it to her and she was looking at it and he just made sure he told me to take it home.

So today I have been filled with rage at the thought of having to deal with him again. At one point he said, "I don't know how she stands you" (which is something he has said in the past) but this time I said, "None of us know how she stands you!" Normally my Mom would be jumping up and down trying to make peace with everyone but now she doesn't seem to care much. (She shows no sign on being distressed and it was only a couple sentences we said in front of her)

I've watched the video from Ted Talks that someone posted and read the site about music therapy and I feel much more hopeful. I think I'll feel really good when she says her first word.

Thank you to all who have blown me away with your good thoughts, prayers and wishes. I really did not know that so many people cared.
