we started e-stim today. the occupational therapist attaches nodes to certain muscles. electronic shocks are then sent to her muscles, stimulating them. we will start on her right upper body, later moving lower and left...er. it looks like gen will be keeping the trach into next week. we had to uncap her today to get some secretions out. susan and i learned some more excercises today. they are trying to get us more involved in her normal everyday care.

well i'm so glad it sounds like you guys are getting settled in. please know you are all in my daily thoughts and prayers :)
Gen,
How are things with Madonna? I didn't realize that, in addition to her illustrious music and film careers, she was a hospital.
I hope she takes good care of you.
I'm sure I'm the first person to connect the name of the hospital with the name of the singer. Right?
It is wonderful to read of your continued progress. We can only imagine how tough all of this must be sometimes, but please remember that you have many friends and family members that love you and are pulling for you. We know that you have the strength to get through this, and hope that you can keep sight of a brighter future.
Love,
Kyle and Meghan
