Sunny Hill Day 7

This morning after after the blood pressure cuff was taken off I though I saw her
itching her right arm with the left hand, so I asked if she could move the fingers
on her left hand and she was able to wiggle the index and middle fingers.

Elizabeth up again around 6 am and very hungry for breakfast which doesn't come until 8.

Terry came by for a visit and went along to the 10 am PT session, Elizabeth was tired after walking down to the room and she didn't want to do therapy and decide to throw the bean bags at the therapist instead of the bowling pins.

Lunch was another eating test, Elizabeth ate the mac and cheese and then declared that she was tired and wanted to go to sleep. So no fish sticks or french fries today. Tomorrow we get to feed Elizabeth and they are going to watch us and give pointers. Hopefully we don't fail and Elizabeth can get back to eating solid food again.

Elizabeth has been brushing her teeth for a few days now but here is some proof.

Sheila and kids were by for a quick visit. Elizabeth seems to be handling visitors nicely for a short time then wants to go to sleep with one of them lying beside her.

This afternoon Elizabeth was being examined by the doctor as she noticed a deviation near her left wrist, so possibly Elizabeth has a broken arm or fracture. Hopefully they can get an X-ray done. There is also another test that takes a long time to schedule that can be done to see if there is any nerve damage near the left shoulder that would explain the lack of movement in the left hand.
