Wednesday

I created an Excel spreadsheet, so that, daily, I can enter subjective scores regarding the spasticity in my left lower extremity (LLE) and left upper extremity (LUE) during the titration process.  Using these data points, I can graph, see over time, and share with my doctor and nurse practitioner what I’m experiencing during the titration process.  On 10/16/15, I added a data point for general functionality of my LLE & LUE (green line).  If things go well, the red & blue lines should continue to trend downward and the green line should trend upward.  I thought it was interesting to look back and see the progress.  And yes, I had a brain injury, but I’m still a nerd!

I don’t know if the graph will come through, but the green line is moving northward and the red and blue lines moving downward.

David Ramsey has not communicated since his health issues overseas, but a friend contacted him and received a brief reply.  It said that he was better, but still has a long way to go.

Jane Wickham came home last night.  Then, she couldn’t sleep!  I’m sure she will be going to see David at Ochsner, NO as soon as she can.  Pray for Jane to continue to improve and not have any more complications.

Bill Frazier was taken to North Oaks yesterday because of shortness of breath.  Pray for Bill and his family.

Scarlett W. Broussard will have surgery on her  arm at 8:30 this morning in Hammond.  Pray for a successful surgery and a complete recovery.

Flo Hatcher made it home and loves the way her room has been redone for her.  Pray for her caregivers as they sit with her.  Pray for her daughter, Julee, as she tries to teach and be a caregiver.

Barbara Hutchinson has been moved to Hammond to get some physical therapy before coming home.  Pray for Barbara as she endures these difficult post-surgery days.
