Love you all,
Danny
Titration on Dar's pump continues, she is now up to 250mics/24 hrs, starting to see small positive results, attitude and personality are fantastic, visitors encouraged, Rm 808b, hand splints ordered, lots of attention, finding her way into all the hearts that meet her, being weaned off one med that could be affecting her alertness, I cannot express how thankfull I am to Dr Giab for making this happen.
Lots of attention being given to swallowing, it is hoped that we can move towards Barium Swallowing Test to see if there has been improvement in her ability to protect the airway and maybe be able to give Dar special treats on ocasion.
O/T is moving toward splinting Dar's right hand to aid in relaxing her finger tendons, they are severley wanting to close and we to address this.
Speech has noticed that in addition to Dar's extremity tone she is even expierencing tone in her facial muscles and the neck. This will be addressed strait away. We hope that with the pump titration and lessoning of her body tone her neck and jaw muscles will follow, thus, vocalizing should improve.
Stay tuned, exciting times ahead, I/we are soooooo glad to be back home. We love you all.
