Strength returning

Good Evening

 

Today was dialysis day again starting first thing this morning.  After she slept some and then under the supervision of an OT I helped Andrea from lying down to sitting up and then onto her feet and into the wheelchair, worked okay.  The Occupational Therapist a.k.a. OT, said she hoped to have Andrea stand up withe the parallel bars and take a few steps next Tuesday.  She still has no appetite yet so it is hard to have her eat more than a bite or two at a time.  She needs to eat more so that her stomach becomes more used to it.  We can see her strength slowly returning, and soon her physio and occupational therapy will graduate from the bed where they have gone as far as thye can, to more strenuous activity in the gym.  They are trying to get all muscle groups attention and as she is able they will push her harder and harder, as that is the only way to build up strength.  Welll I've ran out of inspiration so will stop.  Goodnight
