CONCENTRATING MORE ON PHYSIOTHERAPY THAN ON STIMULATIONS FOR NOW .

I am concentrating  more on physiotherapy than on stimulation for now. Because She had a severe chest infenction and I have to take care it does not happen again. Lower lung left lung collapse is certainly not a small issue. By going through internet I feel bronchoscopy is done to inflate collapsed lung. Now coming home she still has cough. Her physiotherapist Dr watson sir tells me that she should not be allowed to lie down long..Continuos movements are what required now or else she will have relapse of chest infection.So I focus more on nubulisation, chest PT, standing, rolling,upper limb movements. Inspite of giving all these there seems no end to these secretions.Morning to afternoon she sleeps and she looks ok. but after 3 PM again secretions get collected. I can hear different sound in her breathing when secretions get collected. So we start nubulisation so that secretions soften and then we give chest PT and then vibration near diaphram. we also give rolling and upper limb movements. We also give. neck flection along with standing. After giving all these movements She gets cough. If she is sitting I immediately bring her forward and tilt her head down.She brings out he sections. Sometimes they are thick. When I informed Sushmithas doctor Dr Pushpa Kini she told me to give duolin nubulisation and start 4 hourly nubulisation.She seems much better now.She also has rectal wound and I am applying drez after consulting doctor.If within a week if that does not heal I have to inform doctor or else it might turn into bed sore.I am also maintaining oral hygiene by brushing her teeth twice a day.Once in the morning and then during bath.Her Coffee drinking seems to have improved. I just hold the glass and she sucks coffee.If she likes something she will drink making sound. Today her rice eating was better and I am happy for her.
