Jalyn's progress update- She started her day early (2:30am) by watching cartoons and writing me a note. “I love today.” We talked about all the fun stuff we had done yesterday and what we were going to do today, and she gave me a big thumbs up. She had a CT at 5:15am which showed good healing progress. We’re in hopes that we can get rid of the EVD (external ventricular drain - drains excessive cerebral spinal fluid from her brain) later this week. If we can get that done, we will be able to graduate from the PICU to the peds floor.
PT/OT worked her hard, but she did AMAZING! After almost one full week, we got to see her sit on the edge of the bed, stand, and take a couple steps towards each of us to give us both a hug of our own!!! Speech therapy also came and gave us a learning curve on what to expect in the days ahead as far as verbalizing and eating goes. More happy tears flowed as we watched her feed herself yogurt and applesauce as the day went on. The first oral food she’s had since before surgery last Tuesday!
The school-wide Penny War is in full force and the office was hoppin' this morning with children excited to help the cause. Proceeds will go to the Bender family to assist with medical expenses. The winning group will receive a doughnut and juice party. Penny wars will end on Friday.
