Coming out of the amnesia state must be a shock to Bekah but perhaps she'll stay unaware of the worst of it.
"Bekah is doing good today. They tried to feed again last night, but had to stop because she wasn't tolerating it. They are slowly weaning her off of one pain med that also has an amnesia effect. This is good, but also allows her to be more aware of what is going on around her and I know that she is having a hard time realizing that she's back in the hospital and unable to move around. They did unhook her from the dialysis machine for a short while which they do every few days and she was able to go for a short walk in a wheelchair. She wasn't too happy about it, but did it
Once they hook her back up today she'll be in bed for a few days. They want to get her moving as much as they can because one of her lungs is still slightly collapsed and the movement will help. Please pray for her spirits to lift and continued healing. They are working on getting her on a different dialysis machine and once that happens she can move out of the picu. Please also continue to pray for her family and their strength and endurance during this slow recovery and Bekah's too
Thank you all so much! My kids will be visiting Bekah tomorrow and I will hope to get a picture with her smiling! We'll see
