Wellington Day 2
Planning
When I arrived at the hospital today I had to fight to get into the room.
Margaret was going through the planning sessions with the Co-ordinator Lisa who also does the speech therapy, the physiotherapist and the occupational therapist - who was fitting her out for her wheelchair and a couple of nurses.
The plan was drawn up for the following week with 3 sessions of therapy a day and also one on Saturday morning. I will be going in at 12:00 to meet with the therapist for the session tomorrow.
Margaret was asked what her main goals were and 1> speech 2> walking and 3> right arm was her response so the team will work on her reaching her goals. I was asked realistically how long I expected her to be in the unit amd I felt that 8 weeks would be my target. Margaret said the sooner the better but she knows it will take time.
Her consultant, Dr. Sharma, also called in to say hello and say that he has had a catch-up with Lisa and things are looking very positive for her treatment. He also stated that he would have to say NO to her often as there would be little respite in the treatment programme and no afternoon naps. She will need it anyway to cope with the meals.
Only minor irritation at present is ear wax which she is getting drops and hopefully someone to clear her ears ASAP.
