Rachel is doing well, all things considered. They changed her pain meds and it has helped with her drowsiness. The new meds have also been softer on her tummy. Rachel is communicating really well. She got up to use the bathroom this morning and then spent some time sitting up in a chair for a bit. The goals today are for her to sit up in the chair 3x, go for a little walk 2x, and increase her food intake. (She gives the hospital french toast 1 star. 😉) Rachel will work with PT and OT again later today. If you're able, go ahead and leave a comment on this for Rachel. We plan to read some of your encouraging notes to her later today. Thank you!
Keep going, Rachel! Your amazing strength through all of this impresses us every day. You are a true warrior! <3
ReplyDeleteAnd I promise to take you out for some "good" French Toast once you're feeling up to it. :)
I admire your strength, Rachel! Keep up the good work!

ReplyDeleteRachel, I see your nurse is named Scott. You are in good hands - he must super compassionate and caring! You are looking good! Look forward to seeing your girls and can't wait to see you again soon. Your progress is inspiring. Soon you will be eating brisket and running a marathon with me (maybe just one of the two). You are amazing and developing a testimony to move mountains. Keep going!

ReplyDeleteRachel, so happy about the uphill movement you are making on your journey. Hold onto your determination and remember that baby steps are still moving you forward! I want to share with you, something that I found when we were going through our rough bump in the road - it gave me a little boost every time I saw it “Life IS tough, but my darling, SO are You!!
