Transferring…

This past weekend was a joy to see how much Raena has progressed. Her left side of the body while still weak is definitely improving dramatically. Each day you can see a difference in how she can move her body and she is gaining strength daily.

She takes a lot of attention right now as she is always awake since she is no longer on pain meds and narcotics and is always awake. She constantly wants to work out and do her daily exercises more than she is required to which is a joy to see. I am still awaiting for her to start talking, but she is good at using her signs to let me know what is going on.

I also got to have her sit on me out of bed for a few times this past weekend as well as sitting her on the big girl potty to try and go to the bathroom. She is definitely progressing at a very fast pace. I expect this to continue for quite some time while at the rehabilitation clinic.

Today Raena is being transferred to Health Bridge in the city of Orange which is supposed to be a phenomenal rehabilitation clinic. Visitors are welcome, and as usual, please let me know when you plan on coming so we don’t have too many people visiting at the same time or she isn’t sleeping when you want to visit. This clinic is setup more like a home than a hospital, however it still qualifies as a hospital without an ER or OR but they are close to CHOC so if anything should happen she can be rushed there.

She will also be having another angiogram in the next few weeks along with a few other genetic tests to try and determine what caused the bleed. Until the cause is found I still worry it can happen again. I am off to visit the new clinic and will send an update shortly.
