April Showers

We've had some busy days since the last update with continued assessments, tests and the struggle to keep all checks in balance.  Tricia has had increasing physical activity which has been great to see.  She has gone from taking her first steps a couple of days ago, to now walking a few laps around the ward.  Her medical team are always measuring fluid intake, watching drug interactions and of course trying to ensure she gets enough rest.  

As most of you who have ever been hospitalized know, achieving the resting state is very difficult. Tricia is a seasoned and experienced patient, but this recent stay has been very trying.  Visitors are still not “what the doctor ordered” just yet, but we hope that should change once the routine slows down a bit.  

Tomorrow starts a new week and a new month and we expect Tricia will have some sunnier days ahead.
