Came back to the hospital and Kerrie was sitting on the edge of her bed. Physical Therapy was in here, and they had been working on her walking. Then, she lay back down in bed and waiting for us to help move her to the top of the bed. The PT person told her she needed to do it herself.. so after several attempts of pushing and pulling, with her good arm and leg, she finally got where she wanted to be and had a huge smile on her face! I was pretty darn proud of her.

One of the BMT Nurse Practitioners came and and said “I heard you had a good PT session, I see you have new blanket and the sun is shinning. It looks like today is a pretty good day.” Kerrie said it was and I said, “Yeah.. and you aren’t allowed to make it a really bad day later!” She said it’s not meant to make it a bad day, but just some things we need to talk about. We’ll see what happens at this 3:00pm meeting.

Kerrie and I talked about this meeting, how we were both scared, and hated that this was happening at all. I reminded her that she has proved the doctors wrong every single time and that she needed to keep that in mind whenever they tell her what her choices are or what decisions she has to make. I told her I wasn’t ready to give up yet and she said, “Well, I’ll tell you what.. I’m NOT ready to give up yet either!” Kerrie.. don’t give up.. prove them wrong again if you have to.. but whatever choices to be made are yours and I’ll do my best to support you in them.

Kerrie has some crackling in her lungs, again, so they have taken her for another chest x-ray. She’s in x-ray right now, so took a minute to post a quick update.

A few people have called to see if they can come visit Kerrie today.. so Mom asked Kerrie. Kerrie agrees with the post I put on here earlier and says “not today please.” But she definately wants to see people this weekend if there are friends or family who feel like paying her a visit.

There’s a huge storm coming in… very fitting for what we all feel like right now.
