Tummy time
Marlee drawing with Daddy! (Another BIG milestone! Keep fighting, Marlee!!)
As you can see, Marlee has 2 pretty eventful days. The progress in her is absolutely amazing and is a testament to all the prayers for Marlee. There is already talk about getting her discharged home next week. Bernard and Christina have been working with the nurses to get more comfortable managing her NG Tube, tube feedings, and administering meds through her NG Tube. Marlee continues to work with PT and OT to regain strength and increase her motor skills. Before these last 2 days, Marlee had regained alot of movement, but most were not purposeful. Now we can see that she is able to move and do things appropriately (like drawing on the IPad!).
Everyday is a blessing. And, everyday we are seeing some improvement. We are excited what the next week will bring. We thank you for all the continued prayers and support for Marlee!!
Please continue to spread and share Marlee's story. There is still a long road of recovery ahead and they can still use all the help and prayers they can get!!
