Slow Progress Out of ICU
Still under isolation, but took her first ride out of her room today with Dad and Vivian, one of her attendants. Off the vent for almost 8 hours. Is off during the day and goes back on at night.
Her team is meeting early this week after making their assessments. She is still very weak and is emotionally spent in the afternoon and evenings. Eating tiny bits of regular food and still worried that she won't have as much function in her arms and hands as she had before, but we have tried to assure her that none of the previous surgeries or problems will have any effect on her spinal cord capabilities.
She is very bored and vocally regretful that she has had this problem and does not won't to deal with all this, but that is understandable, and we tell her that it's alright to feel like that, but that she has no idea how much she has been through to get where she is and how extremely proud all of her friends and family are of her.
Enough Psyc 101, suffice it to say that progress is slow, but happening. Johnny back to LA last night. Shortman back on Tuesday.
Thanks to you all.
