<\/p>\nChloe had quite a bit of secretions today and they were pretty thick. It\u2019s a concern, as I feel there is a cold going on at the same time she has a staff infection. She is also up a lot more now so that will bring secretions to the trach more often. She handles it better than we do I think.<\/p>\n
Saturdays are lighter than weekdays so we fill in the gaps. Dana was with her all morning and went to PT\/OT with her. I wheeled her back to the room for her speech therapy. That is more about testing the sensory nerves in her mouth but swishing soda or tasting sour, etc. I thought I saw her tongue moving a little more today.<\/p>\n
When I left to teach my class Dana wheeled Chloe around the unit. It\u2019s their first laps of the stay. They even visited the Starlite Room before going back to 3502. She is also spending much more time in the wheelchair. The more we can get her up the better.<\/p>\n
Her leggings were not tight enough so she did pass out at one point today during \u201chomework.\u201d As soon as they raised her legs she came back okay, but I\u2019d rather not have her go away at all. It\u2019s not fun to watch.<\/p>\n
Sandy and Chloe were together most of the afternoon and night. Dave stopped by for a visit and I\u2019m sure Sandy was able to get something to eat. Chloe has been emailing today also. I\u2019m sure they found a place for the new MJ poster that Daniel sent her. She loved the note attached and lit up when she saw the face.<\/p>\n
Dana was set up for a massage this afternoon. It was so needed and turned out to be just what the doctor should have ordered. Then she went home for a peaceful night in her cave. When she\u2019s there she just wants complete alone time, no calls, no emails, no visitors, and no bells and whistles going off, just quiet. There is no wondering why on my part. She says she\u2019s over stimulated. I\u2019d say that is an understatement.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll be over after church tomorrow morning and spend the middle of the day with them. I have another class Sunday night so I\u2019ll leave before dinner. Sunday is even lighter than Saturday so the extra time spent with her is something we both need.<\/p>\n
Be well,
\nRon<\/p>\n
