Talked to Mom a little while ago…

Physical Therapy came to visit Kerrie today and showed Mom a few excersizes she can start to do with Kerrie to work on her range of motion. They had told Mom that when she was moved to Rehab in a few weeks they would work out a regular program for her… Mom let them know she would not be able to move to the Rehab Unit, due to her requirements from the Transplant, and would have to stay on P2.. so they are looking into being able to do Physical Therapy with her there.

No plans have been made for Speech Therapy yet, as she is not at the stage where they would be able to begin working with her… she needs to be more coherent first I guess.

According the the BMT team, they will consider doing more diagnostic tests ( MRI or CT Scan?) later next week. There is really no point in doing it right now and they would like to see how Kerrie progresses. At least that’s how I understood it when I talked to Mom. I am sure she will correct me if I misunderstood.

Mom says she’s not as active as she was last night, and is growing weaker ( hopefully Physical Therapy will help with this)… but that she knows who mom is and she knows who she is.. Mom didn’t get into questions like whether or not she knew what had happened to her or where she was, but said she may try those tonight if Kerrie is alert enough.

Although some of this is due to her lack of energy she may also be depressed.. especially if she understands what has happened.

I’ll keep updating as I hear from Mom.
