Hello all.
Genvieve's new lungs are still doing great! She was transferred out of ICU on Monday and is in a quieter and private room. pheww. Things are a little bit more painful the last 2 days, as anesthesia wears off and she wakes up and moves around more and more. After months of not
wanting to eat, Genvieve is finally hungry. Unfortunately she is not not allowed to eat yet- so that is frustrating. She is allowed three ice chips an hour, and yesterday was making sure her mom and dad
picked out the biggest ice chips in the bunch. ;) Her left vocal cord is paralyzed, which is very common, so it makes it hard to swallow safely, or talk really. ENT will do a procedure to fix that today and we hope that she will get to eat by mouth soon. Its a tough process but of course Gigi is
working hard and casting beaming smiles between catching a few minutes of sleep. She was told that she should try to do 10 laps on Monday, so of course Genvieve did 11 :) Shes amazing! Keep her in your thoughts and prayers and will some positive, pain-free energy this way.
Will keep you posted...
Thanks for the updates, Brianna! Send her a big hug from Daniel & Delali and tell her I left my car in Durham and will be picking it up the 3rd week of March, looking forward to seeing her then! When will she be allowed to eat?
ReplyDeleteHey Girl, Glad to hear your in step down. I had a paralized left vocal chord also. The surgery should make a big difference. Hope you can eat and drink soon. Hang in there!! : ) We miss you at CFL. Tricia
