Chelsea has had a couple of rough days. The upper GI yesterday showed things moving very slowly. This is not abnormal, doctors says it is common in transplant patients; especially coupled with the amount of medications she has been on. Her gut has just not fully "woke up" yet.
But Chelsea is rocking it out with Physical Therapy - she has had 2 sessions; one yesterday and one today. Both have taken a ton out of her - she is still super weak but she sat up yesterday and actually stood for a minute today. So she is moving in the right direction. I can only imagine where she will be this time next week!
Chelsea also received a special present today from her big sis, Kelly. Kelly had Chelsea's favorite childhood blanket made into a special quilt. Chelsea loved it! Kelly is definitely special in every way - and I am so grateful to have such wonderful daughters.
Thanks to everyone for all the calls, emails and texts! We are missing everyone!
Dear Chelsea,
ReplyDeleteI miss you more and more every day. Mom gives me updates throughout the day but it doesn't replace hearing your sweet voice or getting a text message from you. I wish I could take away all your pain but you never cease to amaze me with your courage to push through it. I am going to keep praying for your strength and recovery (and that you don't kill your physical therapist). I also hope that you will feel well enough to read your blog soon and see how many people have been touched by you and are keeping you in their thoughts and prayers. Maybe it will help get you through the hard days to know that we all love you so much. Daniel says a little prayer for you every night and he wanted me to tell you that he loves you and hopes that you are ok.
You are perfect in every way, Chelsea and I just love you too much. Kelly
My Lil Altoid,
