Hi everyone. It is Wednesday and things are moving along slowly. Yesterday was a tough day. Physical therapy had hoped to get Nickey up three times, but were only able to do it twice. The first attempt was stopped because of pain. The second attempt was pretty successful. They were able to get her to sit up on the edge of the bed. Nickey got really lightheaded and scared. She started to cry and they put her back down. Patsy and I were very scared but we were told that this was normal behaviour. The third attempt, which Patsy and I left the room for, was much better. They got her to leave the bed and sit in a wheelchair. She was able to sit for about 25 minutes before going back to the bed. This morning at 9am they will make her walk. This is very difficult to watch, and we have to keep reminding ourselves to let these experts do their jobs. We pray for a better day today.
Aside from the physical therapy, Nickey sleeps for most of the day. She can only have ice chips for now, but hopefully she will be upgraded to a liquid diet soon. She is remarkably strong and is handling really well. We are so proud of her and can't wait to get home. We appreciate your continued thoughts and prayers. Nickey says THANK YOU ALL!! Take care and God bless.

Aloha Nickey,
ReplyDeleteUncle Rick, Aunty Char, Mia, Kayla, RP and the rest of the Saunders Ohana will keep you in our prayers during this rehabilitation process. Before you know it you will be running around like a NEW young woman. Keep that smile on your face and your "go get um" attitude and before you know it you will be watching the next football game at Aloha Stadium from the stands. God Bless.
Love, The Saunders Ohana
