Today Ranee' sat up in a chair for the first time. The rehab team spent about 30 mins with her today and she did really well. They did a swallow test with a piece of ice and she was not able to swallow it, but she did spit it back out into the spoon.
I asked her if she knew who I was and she nodded her head. I asked her if she knew I love her and she nodded again. She also smiled really big at me. I asked if I could kiss her forehead and she nodded yes. She was trying to say something to me, but we couldn't understand what she was saying.
Ranee' may be moving out of ICU today and into a regular room. They will be doing PT with her several times a day now.
1:15 PM
I just saw Ranee' again and she smiled at me and again nodded that she knew who I am. They had put the feeding tube in her nose since she didn't pass the swallow test this morning.
The PT team said they have a couple of rehab facilities coming today to evaluate Ranee and depending on which one can best benefit her will decide which one she will go to from here. We thought we would be moving her closer to home, but they feel it is in Ranee's best interest to go to a rehab close to here since the hosptial is in close contact with the ones in this area.
At 2:00 they moved Ranee upstairs to an immediate care ICU room so the visiting hours will now be a bit more flexable.
While in a visit with her mom and sister she said "KFC, Brandon has the KFC card". They asked if she wanted chicken and mashed potatoes and she nodded yes. She must be sick of that feeding tube. LOL. So far she has asked for a shower and KFC, I would say those are both great signs.
