Another good day for Lisa today. She had Speech and Physical Therapy today. She now feeds herself ice chips to practice swallowing and is showing improvement. She also stood-up briefly twice today with the assistance of her therapists and the sat in her chair for 30 minutes. Tomorrow morning the Doctor will insert the PEG tube and if all goes well she will transfer out of the respiratory hospital on Saturday into the Transitional Care Unit where they will focus on building her strength. Another step in the right direction!
Thank you for your support and prayers.
Jim, Josh and Melissa

Dear Lisa,
ReplyDeleteYou were very much missed at the STAR awards assembly, but your spirit was definitely there with us and your message brought tears to many eyes! YOU, our strong and fearless leader, are a significant piece of what guided us to getting the award and it was wonderful to "hear your words". I am so thankful and happy to hear how well you are doing and look forward to the next "phase" of your journey. Remember to keep those nurses going and doing their jobs. Let them know your "Private Duty Nurse" will be checking on their quality of care!!!! Only the best for our Lisa!! Keep up the hard work and lots of love and thanks to your family for keeping us udated on your progress!
Love,
Nurse Judy
