ice chips

Cosima is able to have 1/4 cup of ice chips every 2 hours. So far it seems she is handling these much better with minimal coughing. She hasn't had speech therapy for a few days now but it should resume again on Monday. This may slow down her ability to take the swallow study but Zach was told we shouldn't try and rush it.

She had a test to determine if she possibly has gallstones but so far the results aren't back yet. This would no be uncommon for her to have these at this point and is standard procedure to test for gallstones.

Cosima has tried to get out of bed now during the night when she was by herself so they are concerned she might try again. She does seem to have a reaction to the morphine so this may have contributed to her trying to get up and her confusion. She hasn't tried for a bit now so hopefully we are past this point though while she is by herself during the night she is restrained to make sure she won't hurt herself if she tries again.

On Saturday Jan was able to take her outside again in the wheelchair and she enjoyed getting outside of her room again.
