Better days ahead

Posted Nov 13, 2008 5:55pm

Well, She started out good...at least for a few hours. It has been a tough day. Marki was doing wonderful until... they started reducing the meds and then having her 'sit-up'. All morning they had her chest elevated and was doing really good, and just for "Phil H. she was doing her breathing with everything she had, and made sure that I kept her on track. However, once they decided to make her bed a chair and she had to sit fully up and drop her legs, she became nauseous and in bad pain again. They finally got her medicated again and she had about 30 mins of relative rest before they had her get out of bed and sit in a real chair. She did good here - though she was nauseous, between the fanning and the cold clothes she never did completely do the deed. - Unfortunately though, she got hiccups - not something you want at this point in time.

It was good though - She sat up for about a hour - a little longer than they wanted - so this was good. One step at a time.

She is resting in bed again - with all the lights out and the meds back in play. She is talking again - with orders of what to do and what not to do - so I think she is doing better.

Pray for a good nights rest for her - and a better day tomorrow.
