Freya has slept all of today, only half-waking a few times. Although she is less wakeful than yesterday, the doctors are not concerned and have told us to expect days where she will be extremely tired at this early stage.
She also has a urinary tract infection from the catheter making her feel even sicker and more miserable than yesterday.
A small, but exciting sign that movement is already beginning to return to the paralysed side of Freya’s body was when she was able to lift her bottom off the bed. Strength and movement in both hips will be critical to getting her up and walking again.
What a positive sign. She has a strong personality and will be determined to be able to do things. She has shown what she can do by how she has coped in the last few years. XX
ReplyDeleteI agree with Bev! Freya is such a little star and even as tough as this is for her, I know she'll get through it and enjoy a most excellent future.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited about the movement. It's a great sign. I'm sorry about the UTI though. I bet that bloody hurts. Fingers and everything crossed that it goes soon, and that the next few days go smoothly. xox
