UAB day #2...

Physical therapy came by today. She sat up for the first time in over a week! She even got to let her feet touch the floor. She won't be able to put any weight on them for at least 8 more weeks, but just letting them touch the floor was a huge accomplishment.






They also took off her boots and bandages for a little today. The ortho team will come around Monday to make sure things are healing properly.



She has a burn on the top of her left foot. We are pretty sure that this is from tegaderm bandaging after her ankle surgery. She is highly allergic to tegaderm. The wound care team is also going to come around Monday to help with the healing process.


She still has a lot of congestion in her lungs. It's hard for her to talk, and the chest tube is still pretty uncomfortable. Good thing we had a pretty sweet nurse to take care of her today. We love you!



Thank you for your prayers. We are comforted knowing we have so many people praying for her.
