Today Jayci got her splint off her left arm and believe it or not, she can still move her arm. We are officially on THE LIST at City Hospital for rehab. We are waiting for a bed???? Not sure how long that will be but hopefully we will know more tomorrow. The tests for the trach will probably be done within the next couple days also. Jace is still trying to eat what is expected of her but her tiny little stomach gets full fast and her taste buds are all out of wack. I guess I can't blame her, who wants to eat stuff that tastes gross. Her spirits are still great though she was a little grumpy this morning but then she isn't really a morning person. Here is a funny story. As Jayci has lost some weight since being in here, she has been beaking her legs and calling them chicken legs. Today her occupational therapist, Romy(who we love by the way), was sick so a different OT was in to see Jayci. Well she comments on Jayci's legs and says what nice legs they are and then she says to Jayci "You must be a dancer". All of you that know Jace will understand how funny that is. Of course Jace said no, she is a hockey player. Anyways, we sure had a good laugh. Take care everyone!!!!!!

Oh my gosh Jaybird! I always knew there was a dancer in there somewhere! If you would have come out for the dance team I would have made it full contact just for you! We follow your blog every day. We can't wait to hear what new thing you've conquered. You're an inspiration to us all and you've taught us to suck it up and keep working! Thanks for being such an awesome role model for the girls!

Keep working Jay .

Good morning Spacey
ReplyDeleteHayley and I are looking forward to seeing you and your mom and dad friday, I quess you brother wants baled spagetti for his non birthday supper.
See you all friday
love uncle D
Hey, hope they get a bed soon for you. I have always believed in miracles for myself am one. Looking at you, your another one. In my hospital stay, i lost a lot of weight too, don't worry. That food is disgusting!!
ReplyDeleteSorry I spelled baked wrong
ReplyDeleteP.S Jayci has always had chicken legs
Love you Jay
Well I'm gald I'm not making baled spagetti even though if I did I wouldn't have to hear it's not as good as your Mom's. Hopefully the baked spagetti goes over better than my gravy does. I guess Gizzy has gained some weight but contrary to popular belief I DO NOT feed her table scraps! She scarfs down her treats so she can quickly go steal Mocha's therefore the weight gain. Keep that spirit up and don't give the nurses too much timber. I love Jayci!
ReplyDeleteJayci, you really are a remarkable young lady. We are just so amazed to read your blog daily and to talk to your relatives on how well you are doing. Keep up your spirit and there's nothing wrong with not being a morning person!
ReplyDeleteHope you get that bed soon. You are in our daily thoughts and prayers.

Hi Jayci,
ReplyDeleteI told you your legs were looking so cute in those tights.... guess i wasn't the only one. You should have let me paint the toe nails she would have loved that.. anyway wished your brother a happy b-day early this morning, only to be told he's not having a birthday... so the conversation went on to wish him a happy non b-day. Will be up this week end, I think on Saturday and Sunday. Love ya ttyl - oh hi Shawn and Starla did not forget about you two. Take care.
We too look forward to the daily updates. Glad to hear you're eating and getting outside. I know it's been hot but let's hope it stays for awhile. We are thinking of you every day and hope to get back to S'toon to see you and your mom and dad soon. Keep smiling I know things are only going to get better. Take care
