Yesterday was a good day for Ally. She took a few walks around the unit. She is not a fan of these, but there is a salt water fish tank we stop at for a break. She pretty much cries the entire walk, but we need to get her moving. She says her legs hurt and that is probably because she weighs 30 pounds!!! (She still has a LOT of fluid on board.) We are also blowing bubbles, making a pinwheel spin and blowing a tissue. This will all help get the yucky phlegm out of her.
Last night she needed to go back on a low dose of oxygen because her levels dropped as she was sleeping. She is off it again today. We have already done 2 walks and when she wakes up from her nap we are going on another.
Ally is MUCH more chatty today. She has been making jokes and is obsessed with seeing Spiderman out the window. I hope he swings around later.
