Sunday - Melinda had a really good day but gets very restless laying in bed. Physical therapist said Melinda is doing great following commands and has improved a lot. Dr. Huff changed the pressure support to 15 and Melinda is handling this well with no problems. Melinda had a few spells with her apnea through the night but Dr. Huff reassures me that everything is okay. Dr. Huff stopped Melinda's sleep medicine and muscle relaxant and thinks this is causing her apnea. Melinda had a really good night and slept 11 peaceful hours.
Monday - Melinda continues to improve with each day and her oxygen, heart rate and blood pressure are stable. Melinda's breathing is a lot better too. All the professional staff comment how much Melinda has improved these last few weeks and that she looks really good. Dr. Huff said Melinda is doing well and changed her pressure support to 12. Physical therapy worked with Melinda and she started to get tired...she asked Melinda if she was tired and she answered Yes. I worked with Melinda today to see if she would do any commands. I asked her to stick her thumb up, and raise 2,3,4,5 fingers and she did it all on command. Melinda is also starting to move her right side and it is getting stronger every day. I told Melinda today that god is here with us and that he is healing her and loves her very much and that everyone is praying for her and Jon. I thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

Melinda, don't give up. You have come so far and each new day is a step closer. We love you, Melinda and we can't wait to see you. Hugs and Kisses from me, Britany, and Bryan :)
ReplyDeletegreat news! Sounds like she's improving and waking up more dramatically every day. It's great she's got that will to fight to 'get outta there'. It may be hard to hold her down!
ReplyDeleteChristie, that is awesome news. I know that being a caregiver some days are so tiring and the slightest sign of improvement can be so uplifting. We have prayer warriors up here who are still praying for her so stay strong. Remember you are walking through the valley we are not staying there. Your cousin, Cheri
