Day 36, 37 & 38

Merry Christmas!!

Sunday, was the start to Brenda's physical rehab. The physical therapist helped her to sit up, but Brenda was able to hold herself in that position without the therapist's help. Next step is standing up. That afternoon they capped her trache and worked on breathing through her nose, she also said "hi". She finished out her day by sitting upright in the stretch chair for an hour. 

Monday morning Brenda was placed on the Tilt Table and they raised her to a straight up position. This position has her in the stand-up position with support and this places weight on her feet. The therapist exercised her arms, legs and mouth. Then she had her breathing treatments, which included the placement of the cap so she could breath through her nose.

Tuesday morning they changed her dressing at her bedside. Brenda rested the rest of the day.

Brenda and I wish to thank all of you for your cards, prayers and kind words. Merry Christmas!
