Day 70
4/10/25
Tate woke to a really fun surprise today. Dr. Lauren had brought her dog, Maui, to the hospital to meet Tatum. Pain made it a little rough initially to get outside, but once out, Tate’s day turned around. Maui is 18!
We met with inpatient rehab today. ChC doesn’t actually have an inpatient rehab program to accommodate Tatum’s pain, but are helping the inpatient purple team to come up with a plan. The biggest problem is still coming up with a plan to support Tate’s pain through movement. So many conversations today with so many people is exhausting. Everyone seems to agree on what Tate needs minus the ones that can provide it. Tate was feeling the loss today of all the ways shes missing out on the simplest of things that have become the biggest things. This long, hard admission Is taking its toll.
