Debbie has had another week of "mostly" improvement in her condition. Deb had a setback earlier in the week when swelling in her right leg required that she be transported to the hospital emergency room on Wednesday where the ultrasound test showed a blood clot. She is confined in bed for a week and back on a blood thinner.
She is in no pain however and her mental state and right arm paralysis are improved.
Deb should be back on regular therapy in a week and electrical stimulation on her right arm Friday allowed her to eat some of her food with her right arm and hand. Amazing.......isn't our God good! She would move her arm and hand slowly earlier this evening and would attempt to place her hand in mine when asked.
Deb has also become a phone enthusiast. She spoke with two friends and her mother tonight and really enjoyed the conversation.....I think they enjoyed it also.
Please keep her in your prayers that the swelling and clot disappear so the can resume full therapy next week.
One last thought......A couple of days ago I asked Debbie if she would sing Happy Birthday to me later this month on my birthday......She didn't hesitate and this is the song she sang:
Happy birthday to you, you live in a zoo, you look like a monkey, you act like one too..........I guess Debbie has recovered more than I realized! Made my day!
May you all have a blessed week.
