(e-mail from B. Parady)
This was the first full day at Helen Hayes for both Sabina and Shelly.
The first thing that Shelly said was that Sabina smiled today. The staff had her sitting in bed today. They had physical therapy, voice lessons. She was not afraid and seemed to be glad to be up doing things. She had a period of rapid heartbeat, but it was quelled quickly. There was a bit of a fever and they are bringing back the antibiotics again.
Currently she is not sharing a room with anyone although there are 4 beds in her room. It overlooks the Hudson Valley in a great view. They plan to give her a bath tomorrow which apparently all the patients seem to love. By the end of the week they plan to have Sabina in a wheelchair and have her going on the grounds. Tomorrow she will start to wear regular clothes in the hospital, not hospital garments.
So lots of change. Sabina seems to welcome it and so does Shelly.
All our prayers for Sabina's continued hard work for her rehabilitation.
