Excellent news indeed! I'm sure your devotion has been a major factor in her improvement. Hopefully, she will improve enough to come home.
I hope I don't jinx my Mother's progress, but she has actually gained 2.5 lbs over the last 2 weeks. Eating just a little more at meal times, but having better success with the snacks. She has a GI consult this week, but she certainly won't be getting a feeding tube with the numbers improving. Probably still a good idea to hear what the doc has to say in case things regress.
The surgeon released all restrictions on shoulder therapy. Hopefully she will get more use out it which will in turn help in using a walker. Some improvement there and I think we have a chance to get her home. With the help of hired sitters of course. But that will be better than living in the environment she is in and better on me.
Whatever those snacks are, they seem to be working nicely for her. If they are something provided by the hospital, then better find out exactly what they are so that you can stock her house with lots of them if/when she gets home.
