Paula is a Med Tech.....so over the last week....she's been focused on glucose......she's been calling out numbers, and said several times that she didn't understand why the glucose levels were not going down......today she also mentioned CBC.....I ask the nurse what that meant and she said that is a Lab test.
Later, Paula was again saying 187 Glucose.....I ask her, "What about the CBC?" She said it was good, so I ask her what does CBC mean? Immediately she said "Complete Blood Count." So even though she's focused right now on her Med Tech experience and not the immediate things around her....her mind is as sharp as a tack!
She walked appx 300 ft. today with minimal assistance, the PT said she did GREAT! She ate appx 20% of her breakfast, nothing for lunch, and appx 10% of supper. The nurse said yesterday that her taste buds just need to "wake up."
Leigh got Paula a "scripture box" that has small cards with a scripture on each side. The PT also told me that on Friday, she picked up the box and read some to Paula.....she asked Paula where the verses came from in the Bible, and on one from Psalms, Paula told her the book, chapter, and verse!
I walked in yesterday and put my Auburn hat on the bed.....Paula was sitting appx 2' away. After talking with her a while, I went out to talk to a nurse, and when I came back in, Paula had put on the Auburn hat, with the bill cocked about 3/4 toward the back.....I almost fell over backward laughing.....I went out again, and when I came back, she had it on straight, with the bill toward the front!
She seems to be improving every day....praise God!
Also, I was apparently aneorexic in 2nd grade
