Friday Morning

During the night Cathy started to have issues with low blood pressures and low blood sugars. The low blood sugar thing has been corrected. The low blood pressure is being addressed. With everything she has been through since June, these issues are barely blips on the radar.

Today the plan is to have her spend some time on the trach collar and get some exercise. If necessary, she will be put on the ventilator during her physical therapy. Getting her to move her muscles is one of the primary priorities. It has been so long since she has walked, her ankle joints have very little movement. Although not near as extreme, the movement in her shoulders are also limited (especially the left side where she has the added pleasure of dealing with her surgery incision).
