Julie the cracker jack physical therapist is here. She is full of lots of energy, very chipper. She started with putting her brace on her. This is done laying in bed and rolling back and forth until she is wrapped in hard plastic shell. Once she is all strapped in they have her sit up and stand up with the walker. The PT woman is working with Mom to do the things she will need to be able to do to go home and get around.
They had her walk to the bathroom and get on and off the toilet - just for practice. She has gotten back to the edge of the bed and is having a little diet coke.
One of the doctors responsible for internal medicine has just stopped by. He is checking on the vitals and pain and how the stomach is starting to work.
Lunch has arrived. Broth, yellow jello cubes, orange water ice and apple juice. She has had her appetite return and is looking forward to something with chocolate.
Stay tuned...
