She's making progress!!!

Lacey slept most of the morning, had uncomfortable moments, but I think the nurses and doctors have found the right combonation of meds to keep her comfortable! Physical threapy came in around 10:30, Lacey got herself up to sitting on the side of the bed for about five minutes, then up to standing for about five minutes. She says "it felt bad in a good way, like she was stretching with sore muscles." She got really dizzy and nauseous, she threw up once. Then they moved her to a chair, she was really uncomfortable, she felt a lot of pressure and her back spasmed a few times, but she made it for the full hour! The nausea subsided and she was able to walk pretty comfortable to the doorway (about 40 feet), then she felt really sick again so we headed back to bed. That bed never felt so good to her! They made her comfortable and removed the catheter!!! Which means she is laying in bed with PJ bottoms on so her hinney doesn't hang out!!! She relaxed for about twenty minutes and they brought in her lunch, amazingly she was starving, she ate about a half cup of steamed rice, a whole bag of sliced apples, a few bites of the quesidilla (then decided it was gross), a box of fruit punch, a container of jello and a bright red Popsicle! We brushed her hair and her teeth and she was wiped out, she is asleep now. I know your thoughts and prayers are working, today is a good day and we have been blessed.

And if you are wondering, I have not been able to cure the potty mouth yet :-(
