Arms, legs, face: No perceptible change from yesterday.
Doctor Visit: Her brain has started to swell, as predicted. This will be monitored closely for next 24 hours to determine if drug intervention is required. They don't want to do that unless really necessary as the drug used has the potential for creating kidney problems. Doctor says speech she hears is as garbled to her as her speech is to us.
Room: Still in 513
Visitors: Dick from 9 to 11:30, then Tim.
Expect blog update this evening.
Therapy: Had a brief meeting with therapist discussing where and what level of therapy will be appropriate, but too soon to decide.

To the Aitkins Family - we are praying for Bettie's full recovery. Please give her our love and wishes for a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteI certainly appreciate this blog for updates....I hate to bug Veronica and Tim with constant questions/updates...but obviously we are concerned. This site will certainly help you as well.
Take care, Dick. She's still in there...keep talking and praying...

To Dick and the whole Aitkins family,
ReplyDeleteThank you for allowing us to follow Bettie's recovery progress in this way. Although your words brought me to tears a few times, I really appreciate the updates. Please let me know if I can do anything for you - at any time.
