Mom made a lot of progress today. She woke up and was able to open her eyes and is starting to squeeze our hands. I've never seen so much joy in a room as there was whenever she opened her eyes and looked at us and shook her head telling us that she could hear us. GOD IS GOOD!!! They had scheduled for her to have a brain wave test today, thinking there was something wrong neurologically. Obviously that was cancelled...WOO HOO!!!
She's still on the respirator. They turned her oxygen off again today and are going to leave it off through the night to see how she does. As long as she can hold her own tonight, there's a good chance that she'll be able to have the breathing tubes removed tomorrow. Her sodium is still a little high. They'll continue treating for that as those levels must be brought down very slowly. All other lab work is slowly continuing to improve.
Thank you everyone for your continued prayers. Mom still has a long road to recovery, but this was definitely a big day for improvement!
Love you all,
Marcia
