CarePages Update

...FROM HER MOM

Another great day! Acacia walked down the hallway!
She was able to walk with the Respiratory Therapist walking with the oxygen,
Paul the nurse walked backwards holding onto Acacia and she
"pushed" him all the way down the hallway!
The doctors were all in the hallway everyone was cheering her on!

The doctors said they will never figure out what caused Acacia to crash,
and they really don't know what to attribute her turn around to,
but they are thrilled as am I. I don't care as long as it continues.

The plan now is to put her on a B-Pap machine to help her breathe tonight
with the trach mask, if she can do that for a few days and can continue to progress,
she will be able to go upstairs sometime next week!

Then in the next few weeks if all goes well they will attach a speaking valve to the trach,
and eventually try and downsize the trach so she can begin to eat.

Still a long road, but at least there has been sunshine these past two days.

another walking day

the nurse said she's 'good' today

she's on her 'trach mask'

-breathing on her own, with her new lungs

she's gonna take another walk today

and the nurse is happy with her 'progress'

me too



thank christ!!
