Dear Family,
Some updates from Marlene tonight:
1. Physical Therapist assisted Melissa in sitting up today. Melissa was able to hold up her head with her own strength.
2. Occupational Therapist gave Melissa Popsicle to determine her ability to swallow and to see if leakage were evident on the treach. Yesterday and today, Melissa was able to swallow and there appears no leakages.
3. Melissa is less and less dependent on certain medication. This suggests her body system is improving.
4. Because numerous physical therapy activities are occurring daily, Melissa has become very tired. The good news is that the exhaustion causes Melissa to sleep better at night.
All in all, the past few days have produced positive momentum for Melissa to stabilize.
Let's all keep praying for strengthening Melissa's body and efficient rest for Marlene and Michael.
Sorry, a couple of things I overlooked
1. As Melissa ate the popsicle, she displayed a frown expression. This suggests she can taste and feel the chill of the popsicle.
2. Early this evening, Sheue-Ling said Melissa had a fever of 38.6 C or 101.5 F.
Continue to pray the fever to stay down and allow her body to naturally combat the fever.
Thanks,
Steve
