Donna had a very good, but very busy day Thursday. She continues to eat well, and the docs reported that her protein levels are coming up, a very good sign that should help her muscles recover. She does have some skin "tears"--abrasions like skinned knees--on some of her pressure points. These are not bed sores, but damage from sliding her across the sheets, etc. Her skin is very fragile right now. The staff has taken measures to ease this, such as a therapeutic air type mattress, and other items.
Donna continues to work hard at the goals set for her, namely regaining her strength and use of her legs. It is very tiresome work, but she has her fight on and is determined. We know that through God she can accomplish this. We praise Him and thank Him for never letting go of her (and all of us too!)
***Hey everyone, if you are planning on visiting Donna, please be careful...several cars in the parking lot were broken into at the hospital last night - this was reported to us from a nurse who works there***
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Donna -
ReplyDeleteI wanted to drop in today to tell you I hope you have a good day. Smile, sunshine!!
Love,
Lorelei
To Kathy G 2/20...
ReplyDeleteKathy, I have tried several times to email you at kathygiones@embarqmail.com and keep getting errors, undeliverable. My email address is pennjl@comcast.net if you still need to reach me. Sorry! -- Janet
Dropping in to send you a big "squeeze" for the day. One day at a time Donna-and you will reach that prize. Your determination is going to carry you to the finish line-that is for sure! Lots of love-Sherry
ReplyDeleteIt sounds as if you're really working hard. Keep it up and you'll be out of there before you know it. I wish I could be there. In the mean time I'll just keep praying. Keep the faith.
ReplyDeleteLove ya, Jeanette
Good morning. Guess what Gang! The camera has been found! It had slid down under the couch cusions! Donna, please, please get better. I think you're going to have to help your friend when her mind is gone! (ha, ha). Of course it may already be gone! Hope you have a wonderful day! Love, Jeanette
ReplyDeleteHi Jeanette! So glad to hear the camera has surfaced. I hope Donna can help you with your mind, mine is gone already!
