Right now Kathy’s rehabilitation is going steady but slow. She is incrementally improving everyday but no big steps or breakthroughs. At times I get frustrated about her progress. I guess I expected her to be walking more and being more like she was. It’s been 5 weeks since we have gotten to Sharp and I worry that she has peaked. Well let’s hope not!
The good news is Kathy’s antibiotic IV is finally out after 2 months! She no longer needs her pic line on her arm, FREEDOM. That irritating machine is out of her room with is constant alarms and bells. One more line to go and Kathy will be free of all her attachments. What line is that? It’s her feeding tube. Last week Kathy again failed her swallow test and the tube looks like its going to be in her for a couple of weeks. BUMMER!
When ever anyone is visiting Kathy, you should ask her to do her swallow exercises. I keep reminding Kathy that if she can pass it and start eating, the earlier she’s going home. Kathy really is at the point where she wants to come home. Maybe this is a good motivation for her? Let’s hope so!
