QUICK NEWS

Post by brazilian » Wed May 28, 2008 7:40 pm

Hi, friends!

Just a quick report:

Claudia has been with Laryssa today, and told me she started using the BiPAP during the night, everything seems fine with that.
I will manage to go to the hospital tomorrow and try to get more details about that from Dr. Pedro.

The sore on Laryssa's nose (due to the vent mask) is almost healed.

She caught a cold two days ago, but Dr. Pedro took special care of her and she is ok now.

Regards to all!

Olá!
Estive hoje com Larissa no final do dia,ela está um pouquinho gripada mas está passando bem.
Tem amado usar o BIPAP seu nariz já cicatrizou a ferida.
Todos que entram para visitar ela faz questão em apresentar seu aparelho.
Ela vigia a aparelho todo o tempo com receio que tirem o aparelho de lá.
Ela se adaptou tão bem que ficamos surpresos,ela já não chora mais para colocar a máscara para dormir,pois se sente muito contortável.
O numero de horas de sono dela até aumentou conforme me foi informado e achei ela mais calma.
Obrigada a todos mais uma vez.

I saw this topic a number of times and never read it because I thought it was intended for a forum member named Little Larissa. I noticed the other day how many postings it had so I got very curious.

I had tears in my eyes all the way to the last page. What an amazing story, the kindness and generosity touched my heart in so many ways.

Thank you for the update, Brazilian & Claudia,

Hopefully Laryssa's cold is temporary, and any other bugs she may get while in the hospital may provide a boost for her immune system. It's good to hear she is sleeping at night with the machine. Let us know if Dr. Pedro has a plan to get her out of the ICU and into the infirmary. That should give her a welcome change of scenery, and more people to visit!

Best,
Banned

QUICK & DIRTY TRANSLATION BELOW:

Hi!
I have been with Laryssa at the end of the day, she's got a mild cold but is doing fine.
She is loving to use her BiPAP, and the sore on her nose bridge has already healed.

She is eager to show her BiPAP to everyone that enters her room, and she keeps an eye on the device all the time, afraid that someone may take it out of there,

We are surprised how well adapted is she, she does not complain anymore when putting the mask before sleeping, because she feels very comfortable with her new mask.

I was told the her sleeping hours have increased, and I notice she is more calm.

Thanks to everybody once again

Cláudia Toledo-Dra Cacau

So nice to hear all that!!

And this news about Laryssa's BiPAP therapy is especially encouraging:
I was told that her sleeping hours have increased, and I notice she is more calm.

Deleted my google assisted translation - I trust DSM's but didn't see it before I posted.

You gotta love a little girl who doesn't let too much distance get between her and her machine when she is not using it.

It seems that she knows what is important to her. Then she has people
like Brazilian and Claudia plus the other medical staff to support her.

She is such a sweetie.
