Paul's Update: April 19th @ 8pm
Karen continues to hold her own during the physical therapy sessions. Today they worked more on her sitting up on the side of the bed, and this time they let her go to balance on her own. She performed wonderfully, and the therapist were themselves very exited about how well Karen was doing.They stood her up for a few minutes, but this was very hard for all. Tomorrow they are going to try it again.
After the session was over, they put her in the chair again and we wheeled her out to the lobby where she could look out through the windows to a lovely view of the roof, and the helicopter pad. Hey, when you’ve been cooped up in the hospital for three weeks even that can be pretty cool.
She was getting tired and I took her back to her room. I left to go to work shortly afterwards, and her parents came for the afternoon shift. They said she seemed a little tired and she probably was, given the workout I observed.
I leave tomorrow for a business trip for a couple of days. I will try to post based on the information I get from her parents. For those of you who do see Karen, feel free to post your own observations. If you don’t see a post from me, don’t freak out. I’ll be back online Sunday when I return.
In the meantime, kick some butt Karen !
