Maggie Rudy Wed 7/11/18

Maggie's doing remarkably well with her trach modification, so well that it will probably be completely removed by this time next week.

Today we finally got to see two thumbs up! Not the best thumbs- up, but a great effort and definitive result!

Maggie, Laura, Nadia, Becca and I got to enjoy lunch from Panera Bread at 12:30, just prior to recreational therapy at 1.

Overall, Maggie's nausea has abated and her appetite has returned. She no longer needs supplementation through the stomach feeding tube, which will be removed shortly. Both Maggie and Laura are sleeping better at night.

Rec therapy is the most challenging session she has, but Maggie's favorite. These are card and dice games requiring strategic thinking and placement of small playing pieces. She is improving both cognitively and motor coordination, but she has a way to go.  With her spirit and competitiveness, I know she will get there!
