Emily Update XI
Emily was "approved" for a 3 hour pass on Thanksgiving Day. We went to Stacey & Michael's house. It was a short 1 1/2 hour visit, but Emily did very well and seemed to enjoy herself. It was everything we had hoped it would be.
The two "weaning" medications are now at .5 mg. each. She seems happy most of the time and is trying so hard to make sounds. It frustrates her sometimes and she cries. This week she learned to sit up on her bottom and stay up on her own. Her right hand has some grip. Her movement disorder seems more smooth and less jerky. She can throw her feet in front of herself to walk, but cannot support her weight. She leaves at 8:30 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 28 for Memorial Hermann Hospital to have her MRI (scheduled for 10:00 a.m.) She will need to be sedated fort his test.
We have a very long Thanksgiving list this year and besides the obvious, we are most thankful for all you who have prayed for and supported us during this time.
Our love and thanks,
Ken & Natalie
