Putting into practice what we have learnt

After the PT session with L, we've been letting Danielle situp and exercise her motor skill. For each situp session, we can only allow her to sit up for 10 mins. Anything more than that, Danielle will not be able to tolerate as there are alot of secretions. As a result, her oxygen saturations drop below 92%.

This happen a few times, and we are afraid to let her situp, knowing that after each situp session it will be follow by suction to remove the secretion. Suctioning really cause alot of discomfort to her.

    Lets find ways/repositioning the equipment for the oxygen to go more to Danielle when she is sitting upright? Can start with a 45 degree sit then 70 degree before 90 degree upright?
    I am just visuallising if i'm danielle, what i would feel most comfy. Slow and steady.
    Yes, keep going, keep trying.
    Mummy, Daddy and Jie Jie Beth, thank you for bringing her to enjoy and view things in an upright position....we walk and prayed with you in your journey.
    Faith and believe the impossible

Danielle - How's things going on...

How has Danielle's been doing? Is she well ? Guess this have been some thought for some of Danielle's blog follower. I apologies for not updating in the blog. It been quite a busy season for us as a family since the beginning of this year. Danielle do has her own facebook - https://www.facebook.com/danielle.seah.3  account  which we update more often than in her blog. FB is more easier to upload post than posting at the BlogSpot. Do check out her Facebook if there not much update in the blog.
