Challenges

I again visited Alison today. While she was cognitive and able to speak clearly, she is still very physically limited. She can move her right arm and right leg a bit but only can ocassionally move her left arm and leg in a limited way. I sat with her during PT where they moved her from the wheelchair to sitting on a workout bed. She cannot yet hold herself upright and finds it confusing and scarey. I hope PT will help her re-learn soon how to control her muscles.

Re food, Alison's intake is still limited. She finds the facility food bland and repeatative. Today I took her assorted smooth, honey consistency foods. She liked the liver pate and the aluete herb cheese. The butternut squash soup with sour cream was still a hit. She likes gingerale mixed with the tickening powder. But overall, the volume of intake is still very low.

We are waiting for Reenie's arrival Friday after 5pm. Amy will go out Sat and I will visit Sunday am. Reenie leaves Mon at 5pm so come by for a visit!
