Donna had a pretty exciting day, her trach was successfully changed
to a smaller size and she has done well with it today. If she continues to do well, there will be a
further reduction in size followed by a bit of check valve installation, the
final stage to removal. This is all good
news as we take progress in any form as a success.
Her physical and occupational therapists started on her
today and much to my surprise, at least this first session was easier than
those I have been putting her through. We
have no plans to ease up, no rest for the weary.
Donna continues to make small changes in her movements. We enjoy them all but don’t necessarily see
them as the direct pathway to her awakening.
We still hold considerable hope that we will see a rather significant
event when she puts her mind to it (literally).
We have great faith in a significant recovery in a time frame we remain
prepared to be long.
Great to have John back, the hospital staff I’m sure will be
standing more at attention as he more closely inspects activities. We love his ferocious commitment to his mom.
Thanks to those who are helping us with food. If you missed the info it is: A good friend has coordinated the creation of
a CareCalendar that will help facilitate some food help for us as we settle
back into the guys in support. The link
to get there is http://carecalendar.org/ and the Colosimo Calendar ID is: 117946 and the
security code is: 4981. After logging in, it allows you to select on
the calendar where you can help. Thanks
in advance
I want to thank
all of you who send notes of support. They
warm our heart; and we share them among the family (including Donna). Thanks considering I have the opportunity to
answer so few.
Late here so I am off.
Deepest regards,
Bob
