Little bit of information

Okay this is randi and well, I don't do entries with the same to the point savvyness that leighton does but here goes.... This morning an occupational therapist worked a bit with gen having her raise her arms and bend them with her assistance. I don't know how well that really went but there was a bit of movement (not on her own) This afternoon they have done an EEG, we have yet to recieve the results. A resident radiologist had also removed one of the arterial lines (one that was keeping track of her blood presure, they are still monitoring it but using a cuff instead.) Because of this removal she has to remain still for six hours so not to cause difficulties with the clotting of that artery. Due to that the medical staff has increased the propofol so that she will be sedated and still. Apparently she was moving her knees up against the pressure of the doctor setting the clot in the leg. ( he had to apply pressure for 20 straight minutes.) I'd like to think that it wasn't a reflex but rather gen being sassy. I will say that so far all of the staff we have met or dealt with have been so kind and willing to walk us though the jargen.
