Today Mindy took charge of things (like she normally does) and ran Shar through a gambit of neuro tests. She worked with Shar on letters and colors, and had her reading a little bit. She also discussed a long term plan which involves her going to the Tower Health Rehab in the next few days. While there she will get more intensive OT, PT and speech therapy. She spent some time in the rehab when she was hospitalized back in late November when she had sepsis and we were happy with her care there. One nice aspect about this facility is that Mindy can continue stalking her chart each day, because the rehab is part of the Tower Health system. It is also geographically close so that family can visit her regularly.
This afternoon she is getting an iron transfusion because her hemoglobin levels are low. We also expect her to have OT and PT at some point. They are going to check her blood gas levels becase she's been abnormally sleepy today - which, to be fair, might be a by-product of Mindy not leaving her alone to rest.
