Wednesday, February 10th, 2010 — Crystl’s Birthday

With the change in medications Chloe and Dana both had a good sleep with no suctioning. However, it appears the ying and yang prevailed during the day. Chloe woke up wheezing and needed saline to get enough moisture to get suctioning to produce results. Then, throughout the day, she needed more and more suctioning.

This all put a crimp in Dana’s plan to stay out of PT/OT and the rest of the therapies as much as possible. There were too many times when she was with those who are not suction trained. That meant Dana had to stand close by. Then Chloe had a new PT person today. But between suctioning and bathroom time they only had a few minutes together. Bummer because I hear it was a good fit.

Dana said Chloe made Blue Flubber in OT today. No, I have no idea what happened with that. I didn’t hear she bounced off the ceiling though.

This afternoon was the first Bingo game they actually went and sat through all three games in the Starlite room. She needed a lot of suctioning but mission accomplished. I haven’t heard what she won yet.

With Dana not participating in the PT/OT as much as usual I think Chloe was a little bummed out. She is pretty depressed, “because she is here.” Who can blame her? I think we need to find some really fun nighttime activities and take the food network away for the most part. I think it’s working against her.

It was really funny to hear again today that my blog has people on the edge of their chairs. Letters are one of my specialties. They are much more powerful than a blog.

The suctioning is winding down for the evening. That’s a very good thing. Maybe she just needs to get used to the new meds. She was having “chin” pain tonight. We are hoping that is from nerves waking up.

Be well,
Ron

PS Happy Birthday Crystl.
