4/24/19

She did it! Emma started physical therapy yesterday afternoon and did so well. She was able to with assistance sit up, get out of bed and walk to the door and back to bed. She was so worn out after that she slept the rest of the day and most of the night. We were moving her every few hours and she would wake up when the pain was bad but once we’d get that under control she would fall right back to sleep. This morning she finally ate again and kept it down. PT came this morning and she was able to repeat what she did yesterday plus make it to the toilet(I say toilet because there is literally a full on toilet that come out from under a little sink) and all the way down the hall and back. She asked if she could please stop and not do it but once she knew it would help her get home she would push herself through the pain. I was so proud of her. They took out the Foley and morphine line and she’s just on oral pain meds which she seems to do better on.

She said that each time she falls  asleep that when she wakes up she feels a little better. We are hoping to be moved out of the ICU today and onto the main floor. Step by step!
