Friday, July 22th - Day 33 Update

Tori had a very relaxed and sleep filled day today. She did have to have a couple of half doses of Morphine at 3:00am and 7:00am but the agitation, Myoclonus and Clonus episodes seem to be diminishing. She woke up for about a half an hour at 8:00am and after that she slept in a deep and very comfortable state. She was placed in her practice wheelchair again for about an hour at 1:00pm and then had a sponge bath and shampoo afterward followed by more sleep. Seeing all of the sleep was very good today because she did it on her own for the most part. We are sure she needed some catching up to do over the last few days... She was awake again tonight without agitation before I left at 9:30pm. Tori just looks and feels alot better than she has over the last few days so hopefully the medications are taking effect here.

Tori had also begun feeding again through a continuous mode and is now recieving the missing drugs again as well. She held down her feeds today since she had NO Morphine!! We still haven't moved to the NTU so we'll hope for it again tomorrow.

Sorry for the late report tonight as I went to take a quick nap with Brendan and Whitney and now it's 5:00am on Saturday...

Thank you again everyone and please include a special prayer for Tori's room mate Brady who passed away today. May you rest in peace Brady.
