This afternoon, Sarah was moved from Intensive Care to Progressive Care. Which means she is making great progress. She isn't even hooked up to an IV anymore. The room has a door, so it is nice and quiet for her to rest. It also has a bathroom with a shower. And I can stay in the room with her too.
We found out this morning from the doctor that half of the tumor was removed in the surgery with no remnants around the brainstem. So, all that is left is the other half up in the frontal and temporal lobes, which they are still planning to remove in four weeks or so.
Sarah was worked pretty hard today. She had physical therapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy. Plus, she had to walk for her food. With each meal, she had to walk around the hall and then back to her chair where she ate her meals. She is still working on regaining her appetite. She hasn't been very hungry.
As she was falling asleep tonight, she asked if I was leaving because every time she falls asleep and wakes up I'm gone. I promised her I'm not going anywhere tonight. That seemed to make her feel better.
With the new room, she can now have flowers. So, she has been able to see all the beautiful flowers people have sent. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. It was another good day and step in the right direction.
