It\u2019s great when I can report a day like today. Chloe slept all night and Dana had a good night as well. The nurses were all very quiet and gentle so as to not wake anyone. Then the morning followed suit.<\/p>\n
PT\/OT went very well with Chloe standing for over 3 minutes with only 25% assistance needed by Michelle. Everyone is very impressed with her strength. Soon we will try a brace on her right ankle and calf to help stabilize her right leg. It\u2019s felt that she may be able to use the parallel bars or a walker better with the support.<\/p>\n
Chloe\u2019s favorite part of the day was at speech where they gave her some red vine licorice to chew. She was able to chew it a bit and then spit it out. There was one panicky moment when she couldn\u2019t find it in her mouth but it was just in front of her bottom teeth. All this is aimed at reactivating her tongue and sensory glands in her mouth and throat. These are essential to her being able to eat.<\/p>\n
Our meeting went well today with some good views being brought up and some suggestions that are going to make the days go by better. We do have a good group of health care providers here and this is a good hospital. We are on high alert being it is our Chloe at the receiving end. So we tend to make a little noise whenever we feel it is needed. As I said in the meeting I hope nobody is taking this personally. This is all about Chloe and assuring she receive the best possible care.<\/p>\n
Woops\u2026 pizza ad just hit the TV and Chloe was salivating. It\u2019s her hardest part of watching TV and it\u2019s about all she cares about recovering as an ability, to eat. <\/p>\n
Dave asked about time frames again today and it seems that the plan is to still keep her as long as Chloe can be insured to stay. That hope is to have us here into February. Our hope is that we stay just as long as is needed to get her mostly independent. She is so determined to get things working again in order to get out of here ASAP. She also just wants to be able to have cake on her birthday. It\u2019s the 29th.<\/p>\n
Be well,
