... yes we've been able to video chat with her. She has an iPhone. She answers calls, answers FaceTime calls, and reads texts that are sent to her. But she does not initiate outgoing communication. I hope she doesn't think about doing it or it's just a bit overwhelming for her to remember how to. We are satisfied that she is getting the best care possible even though it's difficult. Bee staff calls us regularly with updates. The facility is still free of the virus. I think the lock down is working. Thanks again for asking and for your concern.
