Courtney had a traumatic morning today because it took so many people to hold her down for a temporary IV and she has very small veins. It took multiple attempts to get the IV in.
Then the spinal tap was done to insert the baclofin and because she needed to be held very still it took 4 people to hold her down. I had to literally sit on Courtney to hold her down. She's so strong it's amazing to everyone!
We will see throughout the day how she reacts to the baclofin but in the meantime, the doctor was very encouraged that within the past week Courtney's spasticity has improved on its own.
The rest of the day will be spent with normal therapy but evaluations every hour to see how the medication works.
Courtney is really a fighter - it's evident to everyone who cares for her that she is trying her very best to move and do the things she wants to do and those that are asked of her.
