UPDATE 6/4

Michele had another busy day today. This afternoon I was informed by the Hospital that her feeding tube was plugged and needed to be replaced. For the first time I was able to get action done on a Friday afternoon. Within 30 minutes they had an ambulance waiting for Michele and off she went to the Swedish Medical Center for the procedure. I could not get to her in time but Amy was with her and made the trip with her. I was able to meet both of them at the hospital before she had the procedure done. When I arrived she was wide awake and I could tell she was scared. She has been sleeping for so long and now she is awake and has no clue what is going on. I tried to comfort her by letting her know what was happening. I asked a few questions and asked her to close her eyes to let me know if she understood. Michele do you understand me? Michele do you love me? Michele do you trust me when I tell you that your going to be ok? She closed her eyes to each question and kept them closed until I said ok. She definitely understood everything. I also asked her to start working hard to move any part of her body. I asked if she could move her toes and she moved her right toes on command. Im sure tomorrow will bring even more results to her recovery. Michele’s feeding tube was done in 20 minutes and we headed back to Kindred.
