Just an update to everyone kind enough to post or follow.
Mom is doing much better. Her kidney function is doing well and it seems that the flu has passed because the aches and pains are gone. There is still a large amount of congestion but less than before. Her appetite is good and she is much more alert than before. I feel comfortable saying I think she has turned the corner. Now I am in the quandary of not wanting her in there too long and pick something else up. I'm just thankful we're to this point.
Thank you all so much for your kind words and prayers. There was a few times it really lifted my spirits from a bad place to read this thread.
