Best, most important part of today, Aimee has been alert! She got up in her wheelchair for the first time for about 10 minutes and she watched a movie for the first time too! She is still struggling with lots of coughing and some vomiting despite having both the gravity drain and suction drain from her stomach, but seeing her alert has been a balm to my heart after this long month.
Okay, she didn’t enjoy the wheelchair and transfer at all, but she did it.
The movie was much more appreciated.
Overall not much else to report today. Working out some details for next week. Monday she has her first trach safe, which is a sedated scope procedure to check on her airway.
I had a visit from one our favorite ICU nurses today. She stopped by to see us and give me a hug. Hugs are a rare and precious gift right now.
So glad she was able to get in her chair and watch a movie. She looks so pretty sitting in her chair.
