First Steps...

1/14/07

Sarah is continuing her work with the PT, OT, and ST. I think the sessions last for several hours each day, but the workload is a little lighter on weekends. That is good, because it is all still very tiring. Brigid said she started a new medication, to facilitate her emergence. (forgot to ask how long that will last, but I will find out.) All is ok, not too much to report on tonight.

Oh, except she did take about 15 steps yesterday with the PT's help, and she is starting to talk! She can say a few words now and she laughs at the sound of her own voice. (because her vocal cords are a bit rusty after their layoff.) But knowing Sarah, we all fully expect that situation to be resolved soon!

Sarah Go!

My son Nicholas was in PICU with Sarah and I'm thrilled to here that she is making progress and on her road to recovery..we know how hard it must be for her and how exhausting..but tell her we said to keep up the great work and that she is in our prayers.

Hearing your child speak for the first time as a toddler is amazing! Hearing her speak must sound like music to everyone's ears. Congrats!! Keep it up Sarah!
