Today Anna is up and wanting to move. She keeps getting stronger everyday. Its rough for her to be in the ICU, since now that is not the place for her. We are waiting on a room to be available in step down again, but looks like it might be one more night in ICU since things are full up. Her mind is back, but today she is starting to realize how hard this all is. Anna keeps saying "I had no idea how hard this really would be." Its hard for her to see all the progress she has made. Anna is now able to sit up and stand up all on her own, which she needed help with before. She also has a lot of edema and is weeping out of all the punctures she has had in her arm. This causes for her skin to get really sensitive and its uncomfortable for her. Last night she was able to watch Glee! I think that cheered her up a bit. Today I bought her a coloring book called "The Potty Book." I think she will get a kick out of it. Hopefully we can also take her for a spin in the wheelchair and get her outside. She is getting stir crazy as anyone would be who was sitting in a hospital room for a week and half.
Kidneys still havn't kicked in yet. Go, Kidneys, Go!
