Aysha - 4/14/09

OT and PT came by to have her sit up and stretch. She is doing those fairly easily. Aysha is on other drugs now, like methadone and others. These are supposed to help with the withdrawal symptoms of the other drugs she was on for so long. These drugs and not being on the previous ones are giving us some scary symptoms, like headache. Earlier tonight she threw up, another concern. ICU docs and neuro docs don't seem to be concerned. Her vitals are within normal ranges. And the headache symptom ,they aren't worried about as much - somewhat expected they stated.
She has been sleeping and waking up periodically. When she does, I try to ask questions that gives me her alert levels. So far she has responded well.
Earlier in the day she asked about her little brother Ryan, they haven't seen each other since 4/2/09. Tomorrow Aysha probably moves out of ICU and into neurology department if everything goes well. PT is on the same floor and they are supposed to start their work.
