The OT and PT came today and wore her out! They both sat her up and challenged her to hold her head up. She’s doing about 30-40% of it herself! She’s also showing more emotion on her face. She grimaces in pain when the therapists move her in a way she doesn’t like. Any emotion is a good sign at this stage.
When she sat up, the PT let me sit behind her and hug her. I’ve been longing to hold my sweet girl, so I was thankful to hold her – if only for a moment.
Please pray:
- They will be able to remove her drain and move her to rehab;
- That her tremors are just a phase that she moves through on her way to recovery – in other words – that they’ll go away completely as she heals, and
- For the God of all comfort to be close to Anne and to us as we are tempted to despair.
