Making Progress
Rachel is doing well today. She had a pain block on her right leg from the surgery and they turned that off this morning and will be physically taking out the actual blocks this afternoon. She is also off the morphine and on to taking pain-meds orally. Slowly but surely she is being freed up from the med machines that have been taking care of her. This is great news- meaning that her body is starting to recover well enough that it is starting to take care of itself without external assistance. She may be discharged sooner than later at this rate. A lot of it depends on where she will be able to go from the hospital since home is not an option due to the number of serious injuries, going to a place with more individual assistance will help her recover faster.

ReplyDeleteIt sounds like Rachel has been improving daily. That is such good news. Its so nice to have a hospital like Harborview right here in our area to take care of her.
