Sitting and Sprinting
Aria did really well today with her exercises.
They have her building her strength up so she can hopefully get off the ventilator at some stage. The exercises stopped for a little bit while she was in her distressed state of last week but now they are back in full effect now she is calmer and happier. So each day she is having two sets of exercises. First there are her sprints, which is where she initiates breaths all on her own rather than having the machine help her. Secondly there is sitting her up with her legs dangling off the edge of the bed to build her supporting muscles and to help clear out the fluid in and around her lungs.
She doesn’t particularly love the sitting up part but she does really well with her sprints. Today she was even sitting up while sprinting and powered through it, well done Aria!!
In other Aria news, her temperature is under control and doesn’t seem to be spiking so much, her heart rate is down around 100 which is really good and her white blood cell count is slowly dropping.
All in all she is better than last week and doing pretty solidly.
Thanks for stopping by.
