Sorry this is so late but I just returned from Andrea's room. She had an alright day, sat up on the edge of the bed, I think, did PT, played a game of UNO with the OT, they finally quit because Andrea kept on giving her take 4 cards and they were both tired of the game. This afternoon they got her into the Stryker chair and 3 nurses and the Resp tech and us took her up to the 4th floor healing gardens, then on up to 5th floor, made a short loop around and back down to her room. She was out of her bed for 40 minutes which she really enjoyed. Her trache was capped this morning and still was when I left, they are planning to leave it that way overnight at least. They were also starting her dialysis up to run overnight again. There are some improvements, albeit small, but we are very thankful for every small step forward she is able to make. Now it is time to hit the horizontal again.
thanks, Maynard
PS Andrea got a few emails delivered today to her room, thanks. For those who might have missed it, I posted an address recently.
