Today things are going about the same. Aliyah is receiving her medications and really concentrating on keeping them down. That is the most challenging thing for her as the doctor's are trying to find a way to stabilize her so she can get home. If she can't keep the medicine down they can't see if it has any effect on her condition. She did walk to the nurses station and back to her room today which was encouraging to her. She says that she feels like she is trapped. She had anticipated being able to get outside in a wheelchair but the doctor in ICU nixed the idea ( very upsetting to her), maybe tomorrow. She really appreciates the telephone calls and visits from everyone! At least while she is in PICU she can be called toll-free... and her room number is ... Well lasagna and chocolate milk tastes good to her now...here's prayin'. You are all a real blessing to us!!
