From Teresa... I've been worried about the tightening of Tami's left underarm and shoulder muscles. On Sat . the therapist did some deep tissue work trying to release the tightness in it. She started to get nauseous. Then we had an outing to the Noodles and Company restaurant.
She still wasn't feeling too great. So we cut it short and went back to the room for a nap. They went easy on the two afternoon sessions and back to bed to rest. She ate a few saltines and some sprite and up came lunch. The next day was Sun. and we had already chosen to take the day off. No therapies. But Tami made the mistake of telling the Dr. she still felt a little nauseous. He ordered a full blood work up and a urine test. The good news is the results all came out normal. The next time anyone asks she will tell them she feels "just fine", unless it's something more than an upset tummy.
The last 4 days Adam (physical therapist) has had her walking without her cane the whole "loop" of the rehab floor. He holds her left arm and around her waist with the gait belt. She was petrified the first time, but today she was doing quite well. After that she practiced the six stairs up and down repeatedly.
During occupational therapy she has a little more stretch than last week and Beth was able to get her to squeeze her fingers a little. This is the first time Tami could tell when she was doing the squeezing herself. That was exciting! More Later...Teresa.

Tami keep up the hard work. You have been so strong and all your hard work is paying off. You will be home with your family and friends really soon. You are an inspiration of strength and faith! You will continue to be in our thought and prayers.
