Alexandria's discharge date has been moved up and is estimated for 22 NOV 2011, exactly two weeks from tomorrow. She begs Dr. Crawl for this every day during his rounds and was hoping for sooner, but honestly, she is grateful, considering this date is already moved up from her original date of 01 DEC --still far sooner than we originally anticipated and this is decision is based on how fast and furious she is progressing. After busy days of PT, OT, RT, AAT speech and school, she is generally exhausted and watches a movie before falling asleep.
Thanks to Jackie & Chip, Thair and Zach who came up this weekend to hang out with Alex. Thanks to Jasmine who spent several days and nights brightening up the atmosphere; thanks to Caleb who came tonight and hung in the Posey with Alex and thanks to her Dad who drove up and read Cat in the Hat to her.
PRAY FOR:
Her areas of effort are now towards focus, increasing her attention span and short term memory, stabilizing her walk and bringing up the strength in her right arm/shoulder and right side generally including the evening/night pain she experiences on this side.
She also needs prayer for the ongoing motivation and energy to get through the long nights and her sadness over being away from home. She misses her own environment and looks forward to being home.
Way to go Alex for doing so much already! Thank goodness you'll be out of there sooner than expected. Will continue with prayers ... stay positive.
