PT (Physical therapy) and OT (Occupational therapy) came by. It was fine. They can't do much while inpatient. They will mainly be working on passive range of motion (them stretching Ellie's muscles) and helping her sit up when she is ready. I asked for an abdominal binder to give her hips a new position to be in rather than frogged out. We can bind them together with a pillow in between her legs.
Her ear lesion that was cultured last night grew out yeast. The scalp sores have not grown anything yet. No plans yet until cultures for both are final.
We do not plan on changing any vent settings today.
6 PM
She bit down on her breathing tube and sats went down to 52...nurse was not happy!
Medical Joke (as requested by Melinda)
Question: Does an apple a day keep the doctor away?
Answer: Only if you aim it well enough.
