HollyAlonzo – Never Giving Up Hope

Sixth Update

Hello everyone, I would like to apologize for having such a lengthy pause in updates. It has been very busy with Holly lately in the last couple of days. She is doing pretty well, the only thing that seems to really be bothering her, it’s a trach for you. Doctor Mom has been staying with her mostly during the day, and I take the evening and night shifts. Sitting on the side of her bed now, holding her hand, it is probably around midafternoon. But I would say around 4:30 PM. Call yesterday, which is Wednesday, she did pretty well. They had her sitting up in a chair a little bit yesterday, and some again today. Call this afternoon for lunch, she was able to eat a little bit of liquid foods. But not much. I think it’s mostly going to be a fairly slow recovery process, but I know in time, she will get there. It just takes a lot of patience and work. And physical therapy worked with her today, and said she did very good able to stand up on her own, and sit on the side of the bed. But other than that, that’s pretty much all I have to report at this time. I will let you know as I find out any new information as always.

That is wonderful that Holly is sitting and standing. I hope she continues to gain strength and benefit from therapy. This may allow her to get a better foundation. Thank you for the update. Time folds in on itself after surgery, just moments all running together. I am glad you all have the shifts covered and hope everyone is getting some rest. Give Holly a hug from Jamie, please, for both of you. She must be missing Isaiah so much! Healing prayers continue.

Thank you so much for taking the time to update us Edward. Your Holly is such a brave person and I admire her so much and am glad to call her my friend. She has constantly been in my thoughts and prayers. It sounds like she is doing as well as could be expected. Here’s to hoping the rest of her recovery goes as smooth as possible. Take care of yourself too, I know this must be hard on you as well.
