Two short walks so far today (5:00 pm), one to the acticivity room and a walk to a sunny window. Both were not far, but she needed a long nap afterwords. She can see out her left eye alittle now, but does not really feel like doing much. Her pain is up to a five, but the meds they are trying make her sleep. Dr. visited this morning and said he is happy with her progress and tonite at 11:30 will be her 3rd day – so she should not get any worse and we hope to begin impprovemnt. There is still concern with no sight in the right eye, but if that is the only side affect she ends up with – she is very lucky. She is a trooper and never complains, rest is hard to get in a childrens hospital – but we feel very safe and taken care of here. Tonight we will take another walk. Sunday BUNNY DAY, grammy and grampa will come back , grammy will stay and grampa will take todd home – as he must get back to work. They are not telling what day we will come home now, her walking needs to improve (no shuffle) and her pain must be controlled. She misses her horse (thank you to M for doing chores) and she misses her puppy (thank you to grampa for taking her to his place for training). Thank you to everyone for all your caring and support – that is the only way we could have gotten through this and it keeps Andrea trying hard to get better.
