Friday Evening

The PA from the transplant group finally came by tonight. She was ready to send Karen home but we (Karen and I) both felt that Karen needs some Physical Therapy assessment and possibly rehab. We want to get her home but don't feel like she was ready and able the last time she went home. We want to be more cautious this time. We are not sure how much of that can happen over the weekend so pretty sure she will stay in the hospital over the weekend.

The PA did tell us that Karen is free to get up and move around as long as she keeps the cervical collar on. The last thing we had heard was thursday and we were told to limit movement. Her right arm is pretty weak and hurts to use it from the fall and she really hasn't had a chance to get her strength back from any of this. That is why we think more PT/rehab would be good, even if it means another stay somewhere before going home.

Thanks again for your prayers!
