As of half hour ago, we are officially residents of the PICU Nuero Trauma Unit. I have spent so much time in this hospital and actually didn't even know this unit existed. But it does, and here we are.
I think this is our 7th or 8th move since we arrived. We should get frequent flier miles or something.
Today was Hannah's best day as far as being awake. Part of the day though I think she was hallucinating-but at least they must have been happy hallucinations because she was finding most everything hilarious. Wish I could have some of that-ha ha Anyway she's had these before, and some were really scary so I'm glad she was enjoying herself today. She made a couple small improvements in therapy and in a more lucid moment smiled big at her favorite Dr.-Dr. Williams. He's been her cardiologist since she was born and he is Awesome. I'm happy she honored him with a smile.
Since we've known about her brain injury, we have heard a lot of hopeful stories. I'm clinging to those at the moment. So hard to watch her in therapy struggle to do really basic things. I need to realize all her baby steps will someday add up to something big.
Tonight she started with a fever and they realized she has an infection. Hopefully some antibiotics will help that issue resolve quickly. Thanks again for all your uplifting support. You keep us going!!
This picture was taken right before Hannah went in to get her gallbladder out on Sunday. She was smiling all the way. I think she thought she was in a parade! Who smiles on their way to surgery??
Tell Hannah that her laughing and smiling really makes Caleb happy! 😃
ReplyDeleteGrateful to hear she has been smiling! Even the littlest of improvements is encouraging! Hugs to all!
