Sorry for the lack of updates lately. Technical difficulties. This will be a long post that will be copied from days of updates. The English will be followed by Hebrew.

סליחה על חוסר העדכון לאחרונה, היו כמה בעיות טכניות.

זהו פוסט ארוך, מכיוון שלא עדכנתי זמן רב.

עברית לאחר האנגלית

Last Wednesday, after more than 2 months of Nathaniel being in the ICU, he was finally released to the regular ward. 

So far so good in the ward. It's much quieter than the ICU and we can spend a lot more time with Nathaniel. Maybe he's less bored. We think he may have opened his left eye a bit on Shabbat. That's exciting. Also, on Friday afternoon someone was saying tehilim in his room. At the same time, Adina was doing some PT by moving his arm. He managed to move his arm by himself, rather than Adina moving it for him.

Last week also, the PT strapped Nathaniel onto a "standing board". It's sort of like a bed (reminds me of a massage bed) that they inclined so that he was about 70 or 80 degrees upright. He was "standing". It was fun to see him at eye level. His blood pressure and pulse were fine. He was in this upright position for about an hour. After they returned him to his bed, he just slept. It was a tiring activity.

חדשות טובות! אחרי יותר מחודשיים שנתנאל היה ביחידה לטיפול נמרץ הוא השתחרר סוף סוף למחלקה הרגילה!

הכל הולך טוב במחלקה פנימית בינתיים. זה הרבה יותר שקט מהטיפול נמרץ ונוכל להיות אליך נתנאל הרבה יותר. אולי פחות משעמם לו. אנחנו חושבים שהוא פתח עין שמאל קצת בשבת - זה מרגש.


היום שישי, עדיין אמר תהילים בחדר שלו. באותו זמן, עדינה עשתה לו פיזיותרפיה (הזיזה את היד שלו) והוא הצליח להזיז את היד בכוחות עצמו.

שבוע שעבר הפיזיוטרפיסט קישר את נתנאל ל-"קרש עמידה". זה כמו מיטה בעלי עד שהוא היה ב70 או 80 מעלות והוא "עמד". היה כיף  לראות אותו בגובה עיניים. לחץ דם ודופק היי בסדר. הוא היה במצב הזה לשעה בערך ואחר כך הוא פשוט ישן - הייתה פעולה מעייפת.
