Old Savannah

The past few days have not been too hard or active. On Wednesday she started having a few seizures - a total of 3. The dilantin for the seizures that had been way up had gone down enough and the Keppra that she will continue to be on was not a high enough dose. They increased that yesterday. She has been sitting in a therapy chair on the bed the past few days. On Wednesday night they started her on jello and clear liquids. They started tube feeds back tonight to the stomach doing all food slow. They are looking to see if she can tolerate feeds better while on the special stomach antibiotics. Then if she tolerates the feeds well and they stop the antibiotic then she gets worse then they know she needs the antibiotic. Hope that makes sense. If she does not tolerate to stomach before stopping antibiotics they will try to the intestine. Last night she started getting back to old Savannah. She started whining about stuff and she was awake until 2 am talking. Today she was real talkative also . She has really been protesting her therapy just because her legs are a lot weaker than before from not using them for over a month.

She wants to do stuff like walk and ride the bike until it actually comes down to it. Yesterday and today they started working on getting her to try to stand and that was a struggle. She can not stand well even with assistance. Please continue to pray
