Well, so far so good. Today started with an early morning and breakfast at the dinner table again. Her appointment at 1:00 with Dr Sturgis was a success. Answered prayers, those drainage tubes are finally out! Just as I was getting good at it.
Dr Sturgis and Dr DeLuna made it clear today that Court can get back to normal as soon as possible. They even said she could run on a treadmill if she felt like it. Maybe in a week or two, we won't push it. But as for right now, she should talk as much as she can (shouldn't be a problem), and move her neck and shoulders to prevent stiffness. The NO FAT diet extended to two weeks. And to help her scars, she has to use vitamin E capsules and squeeze the 'juice' to prevent scarring. She is also suppose to be active to prevent puffiness and swelling.
So thank you very much for all the prayers. The past few days feel like we've made it through the tough parts for this round. We wait to hear from Dr Sherman tomorrow.
Thanks,
Matt & Court
