When I got to the hospital this morning, Karen was sitting up in the chair and eating a little bit of breakfast. She didn’t eat a lot, but was taking the initiative on her own. The fact that she ate anything and did it on her own without being pushed, is a big step forward. She continues to be very alert and breathing well (still with the nose cannula) and her wonderful sense of humor is back. She keeps the nurses laughing! They started PT yesterday and she seemed to do well with that.
I really feel like we are heading in the right direction. She is still not quite ready for visitors (plus visitors are limited to immediate family in the IMC unit) but don’t think she is too far off from being ready to see some of you. We will let you know, but this will probably have to wait until she gets moved to a regular room or rehab. Praise God for all of the healing and improvement we have seen!
Today is Russ’s 19th birthday, so we are excited about that even though he is back in Raleigh. Happy Birthday, Russ!
