Need A Miracle - Please Pray UPDATE PG 29

[MerryPoppins]

I'm so happy for all of you! Tell her that all her hard work is paying off. Therapy can be grueling. I've watched my FIL go through that. But it's amazing what they can reteach your muscles to do. Hang in there. I'm still thinking of you.

GLAD to read that she has done so well . I'm sure that she'll continue to progress......

 

[Dan Murphy]

That is wonderful to hear, Liz. I think our prayers are being answered. God bless. It will be so nice for Laura to be home with you all again, at home, where she will improve even faster. Thanks for allowing us all to walk along with you, Liz, a caring family you have here.

I just saw this for the first time today. I'm so glad to see your daughter is doing better. You and Laura will be in my prayers. She sounds like a real fighter. I'm sure that comes from having a mom like you who loves and cares for her so much.

May every day bring her continued progress and a brighter tomorrow.

SHOOT!!!!! They have moved our discharge date back to Friday. Two more days isn't a big deal I guess but its because today has been so horrible.

We have 4 stairs to get into our house so they've been having Laura practice stairs here at the hospital. Today her knees buckled twice on the stairs. The therapist caught her but she scraped her knees, it was very traumatic for everyone, and this happened at almost the top of the flight so I was terrified they were both going to come tumbling down to the bottom. Even the therapist said she hurt her back catching her. So they say she needs more practice on the stairs before coming home.

And they feel she is falling now because of anxiety (????) and they want to put her on Paxil. I said no. I don't necessarily see the anxiety they are talking about. She does have a fear of falling but I don't think that's irrational considering her weakened condition. They say she IS strong enough to climb the stairs without falling and the anxiety is making her fall. I don't understand. They are going to have her see some kind of mental health person to talk about her fears. I don't have a problem with that but I hate to start some kind of other meds.

They also want me to pull back and not go to both therapy sessions with her each day. If she is anxious I don't see how its going to help to say "guess what, we aren't letting your mom come with you." I'm frustrated and want to go home but I want what's best for Laura too!!!

 

[bsnyder]

Hugs to you, Liz!

I'm sorry she's having this setback! Please tell Laura that we're so proud of her hard work and progress and that we're sure she'll tackle and conquer those stairs!!

Much love to you all, from me and Allison!

 

[Dan Murphy]

Hi, Liz. As Bet said, please pass on our heartfelt good wishes for Laura to her. And I applaud you for hesitanting at the entry of more meds. Continued best wishes and prayers coming your ways.

Dan

 

[helenabear]

Sorry to hear of this setback Liz, but I too much applaud you for being hesitant to put her on meds like that. Continued prayers for you all and send Laura our best

 

[Serena]

Liz, first of all lots of {{{hugs}}}. You are such a good mom.

I would let them try it their way, with the sessions and see if it works. If not, then you can start back again.

Always prayers and pixie dust for you and Laura.

 

[Dream]

Liz....never never forget that you are MOM!! That means more than any MD. You know your daughter better than anyone and you are doing a fabulous job being her advocate!!! I know you are tired....hang in there!!! You are almost home!!

 

[minniecarousel]

Liz - I can hear your disappointment! Hopefully, those few extra days will be very helpful. I'd like to see you follow their suggestion about only attending one session a day. Aren't you exhausted?! (I don't know if that feels right to you & I sincerely DON'T know what you've gone through.)
Hang in there Liz. I'm glad you stop by & give us updates.

 

[janette]

I wish you were on your way home

Hopefully the next days will help her to be even stronger. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.
