Sorry for the lack of updates these past couple of days. I’m a little burnt out on blogging. I’m sure you can’t imagine why. 🙂
Well, Emily is still improving daily, it seems. The doctors are happy with her progress. And though she tires easily, she is awake more now.
Here’s the latest email from Dan…
Emily just got done with Occupational Therapy and is exhausted. She is able to bend and raise her left knee about 3″ off the bed. She can also move her foot out from the hip and has a small amount of movement pulling her toes back and up toward herself. PRAISE GOD!
The PT’s are worried about her left shoulder. It’s still a little too weak and they’re worried that it will dislocate or separate from the weight of her arm.
Emily was a little frustrated during the therapy. The nurse helping her wouldn’t drop the fact that she was here yesterday and Emily couldn’t remember. Emily was getting frustrated that she couldn’t remember her but I think eventually got too tired to remember.
She really did great and I hope she can be encouraged by the progress. Many things are still fuzzy for her so I’m not sure she really remembers the PT session yesterday.
Continued progress is our current prayer. I was getting anxious that the movement wasn’t coming back sooner, but realize worrying about it wasn’t what helped either. Thank you all for your support and prayers!
On a side note, my sweet husband took his guitar to Em’s room today and played/sang some soft tunes for her. She liked it. Music is good for healing, right?
And she was able to sit up (in a chair) for over and hour tonight while watching the Biggest Loser finale! Yay, Em!
As always, thank you for your continued prayers!
