Evening, April 27

(e-mail from B. Parady)

Busy day for Sabina. The therapists sat her up today. Did not bother Sabina that much, but Shelly almost had a heart attack. Apparently they are very aggressive about getting folks up and about, and Sabina is no exception. When she sat up her eyes opened wide in excitement.

They worked on her neck muscles and the like to get her tone back up. A new helmet was brought in from the brace department, and it is a much better fit. Sabina seems to have stopped her diarrhea and had a bit of a fever which was moderated with a cooling blanket. It went down to the 99+ range.

All in all she had a good day. She was sleeping as Shelly called in. Things are going to get much more active for as they move forward. Dr Mayer left Dr Parra in charge for the weekend. Next week a new doctor takes a turn. Dr Mayer is taking the the week off from his normal rotation, and Dr Mayer makes the schedule.

Kendra came by, totally jet lagged, and shocked when she saw Sabina.

Mostly what I like is Sabina's care, and that Shelly is comfortable going home and sleeping at night. We have a lot to be thankful for.

So let's give Sabina a cheer for being sat up. Little things every day.

Our prayers for Sabina continue, as she is given rehab.
