Actually, this is :wrong:
I found our OT numero uno from November 2016, which is when DFD 2.0 was born.
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2

So this is the legit 14th OT in 19 months.
:impressive:
Oh wow that's seriously impressive
:dat:
We are awesome.

So, earlier last month we had a contest raffle for prize baskets. I won the Adult game night which came with a few games including Cards Against Humanity, and some booze. They never shipped it out until last Friday, from one of our service centers in Nebraska. I received it today, on my desk, half torn with the box drenched in Peach liqueur. :wtf: :rage: :fullretard:

My AVP said “that’s definitely Nebraska level of pack & shipping”

We played a round of CAH and everyone’s hands smelled like alcohol. :lolol:

No diagnosis yet, some tests have come back and are negative.

It’s hard to gauge her level of impairment cause she’s always so exhausted. Motor function, speech, eating, etc I think they all take effort so she’s avoiding them all for the most part. We have seen glimpses though. She was able to follow my verbal command and put Mr Potato Head’s nose in, on the first shot too which is impressive cause those are not large pegs and holes.

Comprehension is there. Communication from her is mostly head nods/shakes plus “mmhmm” or “uh uh.” But, we have heard some full sentences from her here and there. “I want to see Grant.” “I want to get back in bed.” So that’s promising.

Muscle weakness though, she’s definitely weak even on her functional side. She has made some movements on her left side but it is mostly just lying there. PT was by today talking about taping her shoulder so that gravity doesn’t separate the joint. We have range-of-motion exercises we do with her, and we’ve both felt some muscle contractions fighting us on those once or twice.

The brain bleeds were in white matter, which is connective tissue between the processing units of the brain, so think the jumble of cables behind your desk connecting the various components of your computer. So there was definitely cell death and going to be scar tissue, I think it will just take time to see how impactful that is, and time to make a recovery from it.

She is medically stable now and cleared to go to the inpatient rehab part of the hospital, just need the insurance piece to be completed and a bed to open up.

I told her that it will start to be less about poking and prodding and more about eating chocolate ice cream and playing soon, that got a smile.

Still some struggles though, sleep has been tough to come by for a few reasons, which of course impacts everything.

We’re pulling for you and the little, buddy. Take care of yourself and your family. Can we take care of arranging a dinner delivery? House cleaning service? Lean on us.

Wow. The little positive signs are great to hear. Also in her favor is her young age. As you know better than us, the brain has a remarkable knack for compensating for damaged areas. I'm sure she'll become fully functional before long with proper therapy, love, and attention.
Hang in there, buddy. We're all thinking of you and pulling for her. :like:
