HollyAlonzo – Never Giving Up Hope

Hello everyone, this is Holly’s husband, Edward. I just wanted to give you an update as to how she is doing, I want to thank everyone for sending all the comments we have been receiving. Everyone has been so nice to us and sending the comments they sent on the post. But I can’t thank you enough for all you guys this support. Call Holly has been doing fairly well with physical therapy, they got her up again yesterday, and she was able to take a few steps towards the wall holding someone’s hand. Unfortunately, she was not able to eat much the last couple of days, so they ended up having to do a nasal feeding tube for a while. They decided that in the long run, they were going to go ahead and put a tube again, that would go directly into the stomach. So now, she has a feeding tube through her nose, and the trach. But the doctors seem to think that she will have to have the trach not permanently, but at least long-term. That may be said for the stomach feeding tube as well. But I think the reason for the feeding tube, is because she is not able to use her swallowing muscles to swallow even puréed food. But she seems to think, that she’s not doing as well as she was in her last surgery, but I think it’s just because she’s had some extra devices that she never previously had. But the doctor came in this morning, and wanted to order an MRI of her head, to make sure that there was no more fluid on the brain. But they said that she had had some fluid on the brain prior to surgery, I believe he called it encephalitis I’m not sure. I can’t remember the actual term, either way it means fluid on the brain. But right now, she is currently in the MRI. So it would give me some time to record this post. That’s all I have for now. I will keep you up today as I find out any new information. Thanks once again for all the comments.
