Somewhere the communication broke down between PT and neurology. Neurology was waiting on PT to get Elaine up and take an x-ray of her spine to release her for Physical Therapy. Well, PT wouldn't get her up until Neurology released her. And so it went back and forth. But at 7:30 last night and once again this morning, neurology got the x-rays they needed and Elaine is now ready for PT. PT came by and did the evaluation this evening. They think that Elaine will be ready to move to their Sticht center in a few days. The Sticht center is an inpatient PT recovery center. Patients there undergo at least 3 hours of PT a day.
Elaine is now rolling over by herself, sitting up by herself, and feeding herself!!!!!!!!!
More prayers have been answered!!!

During Henry's journey of kidney transplantation, we also experienced breakdowns in communications between departments. That's where your wonderful, supportive family can be of such help. All of you taking who care for Elaine, I offer prayers for you as well. Elaine, you are making wonderful, God-driven progress!

Wow! Thank you God for all of the progress Elaine is making. Please let Elaine know that she continues to be in the thoughts and prayers of her ADK sisters as she recovers.
I, too, can identify with the frequent breakdown in communication in and between departments at Baptist hospital when my brother was there. It is very frustrating. I think that Baptist is a good hospital but lack of communication is something that they definitely need to work on! I talked with the patient advocate about the reoccuring problem. Maybe if enough people express a concern about this they will see a need for improvement.
Elaine,
I am glad to hear that you are progressing so much. The Sticht Center is a top notch facility...I toured it when I was in PA school. We are continuing to pray for you daily; I've been praying for you to stay cool since I know you've got that fur collar around you.
Love you,
Amanda Taylor
