Establishing a Routine

There is not much to update you on this evening. Cathy did get out of the bed and sit in a 'chair' for several hours this afternoon. We are waiting for the lift team to come back by to lift her back into bed. Today was mostly about establishing a routine for Cathy. It looks like they (the doctors) are going to have Cathy exercise her lungs on the trach collar every morning, attempting to add one-hour every day. Then they will get Cathy out of bed, into the chair, every afternoon. As the trach collar exercises get longer, these two events will eventually overlap. Three days a week a physical therapist will drop by her room to work on some physical exercises.

Cathy was offered to wear the trach collar for a while this afternoon. She declined the offer. I think she was just to tired.

Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers.

PS. Tomorrow's first update will not come until the early afternoon. I need to get some laundry and other household chores done.
