There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.

#TeamCharlotte-Our New Normal

As with every hospital patient, Charlotte's new normal is ivs, stats taken every couple of hours [seems more often], a parade of doctors and associates and test after test after test. Today's photos were taken July 26, 2017.

Now let's work in some physical therapy that gets rather creative to get her to be more mobile. She doesn't want to move much and I didn't realize she can't even walk by herself until I went to pt with them and saw the distress she was in. The therapists try to make things as enjoyable as possible but after a little while Charlotte began pointing at the door, she wanted to leave and go back to her room. Heartbreak for this old Granny. 

She gets to choose some toys to play with:



Then work begins to get her stretching:






Kicking at herself in the mirror works at the muscles in her legs:


I even got to swing with her with my ever ready camera and her daddy peeking out from behind the mirror:


Charlotte will have none of that mask even though she has to be protected from the atmosphere outside her room from one area to another at times.

I know I'm extremely prejudiced and Travis is my grandson but he is a great daddy. She is his focus every moment with her. He takes full care of her from feeding, diaper changing, bathing, comforting and encouraging her. The nurses take care of her medical needs and he does the rest.  

Please keep Charlotte in your prayers and many, many thanks for all your prayers for this sweet baby.
