Another good day...
Today was Jon's day over at the hospital. I got a wonderful phone call from him and the therapist....during therapy Selah was able to hold her head up while sitting on the edge of the bed! She held her head up without any assistance for up to 45 seconds at a time. She had to rest in between times but did it several times:) We were all excited about it! The therapist was giving her some trunk support but she did the head support on her own!
Selah continues to swallow!! She also coughed some:) She deliberately with PURPOSE pushed away the Popsicle after awhile:)
However she was not able to have her trach opening covered in order for her to breath only through her mouth and nose. She got afraid when her trach was covered. Physically she did ok, but it scared her. The therapists are going to work on that with her as she has to do that in order to come off the trach altogether. Please pray that she will be able to work with her therapist on this! We want to see her off the trach!
So all in all good news...I just want it to happen fast! Please keep praying for her. She is improving daily but she still has a far way to go . Thank you for your prayers!

So exciting! Was Selah able to make noise today? Praying for no more fear.
ReplyDeleteBut all in all, it's pretty amazing. Thanks for continuing to keep us all posted! I can't wait for my nightly "Selah fix"!
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful news!!! Praise God! I'm amazed at her progress over the past week and a half. Continuing to pray for you all!
ReplyDeleteWe serve an awesome God don't we? Could you please tell me where I can find the exact protocol. I am an integrative physician and I would like to see if it might help some of my patients suffering with other brain disorders. I tried to search it but have only found the mainstream news feeds and they don't give the detail that I need. I'm searching for the exact dosing and what like epa/dha how many mg how often etc... THanks so much for your help. Know that I am continually praying for Selah and your family.

ReplyDeleteCan you send me your email and I'll send you the studies....I don't know if I have the exact dosages. I can also give you the doctor's assistant's email
Deleteso wonderfully exciting! Held her head up for 45 seconds! On command! Really, that just leaves me breathless when I think about her situation in the first few days after the accident. Praise God for progress!
