My mom is slowly and steadily improving. As I am looking for the biggest improvement with her everyday, there are small steps. In terms of her improvement, to me, her progress has plateaued. As I hope everyday that she is making huge leaps of improvement, we have to wait it out and see.
She is still in a Mid-level Conscious state.
Being in a new place, were still trying to get all the kinks worked out with the staff and get her back on a regime.
Today she starts her 6 day a week Physical Therapy (PT), Occupational Therapy (OT) and Speech Therapy (ST).
She is going to be stood up today, and hopefully that wakes her up!!!
PT comes in everyday, and depending on the day will work with her on a small or large level to get her moving again.
OT has started and is working to keep her hands open so she may get back to cutting hair in no time.
ST is going to work on having her follow simple commands, the first, swallowing her own secretions, once she can do that, she will be able to have the Trach cap put on and she could possibly start to talk and even go outside! And once outside.... we can bring BUDDY the puppy!!
Thats all for last week, enjoy this week and hopefully you all can go visit her sometime.
Good day and God bless.
Thanks for the update Amanda! Little improvements is better than no improvements at all. We all continue to hope and pray for Val recovery and for your family. The main thing is that she's still with us and and she's well surrounded with people that love's her and that alone can help conquer the biggest obstacles ever. She's a strong person and she will get through this! :)
