1 pm. Maggie's plan for today is to continue to reduce meds, especially during the day to keep her awake, and get her out of bed a few times into the chair. She has been tending to sleep during the day and stay up all night. Maggie is not yet lucid or interactive completely - the brain recovery part - but she seems to be making daily progress. We're hopeful to see her respond consistently to commands soon.
Due to the tracheostomy, she can't speak. The team will need to replace her current trach with a smaller one that will accommodate a speaking valve, which could happen in the next several days. But last night Laura and Nadia saw her mouth some words. Laura relates that the nurse needed to give Maggie a shot, and as soon as she stuck her, Mags looked at the nurse and mouthed "fudge!" Nadia doesn't think that's the exact word, but close! A little later she rolled her eyes and mouthed "oh my gosh!" So having language is big.
Thank you for your positive thoughts and prayers!
