Today was a good day! After spending all night on her bipap machine, Shar was awake and alert when visiting hours started. She used her right hand to feed herself an entire banana unassisted for breakfast, which was a great milestone! She also did a great job with her lunch, insisting on eating unassisted. We were really proud of her. She was herself today laughing and talking with Jerry and the staff. Her nurse from last weekend, Kelly, who wa a huge blessing to all of us and was great to work with , came to visit us today. Shar rememberd her and they had a nice conversation. When Nutrition Services called to take her lunch order, she said she wanted Chinese takeout (she got soup instead).
This afternoon, Shar was back to physical therapy. She did all her exercises in bed and was even able to stand up for a little bit before getting dizzy. She used her bipap machine for an hour or two in the morning then again for two hours in the afternoon. She put it on again around 8:30 am tonight, so we are hopeful that her co2 level will continue coming down.
The most important part of the day was that she was awake for Price is Right in the morning and Jeopardy at night!
We are hoping there are more good days like this to follow!
So glad to hear that Shar is back with her sense of humor and positive outlook! Continuing to pray for all of you.
