Is it Tuesday?

 

Each minute is such a roller coaster ride and it’s crazy the depths of worry and fear that come with bad news, and the elation that comes with the tiniest improvement. It’s cray-Z!

So late last night we got the results of her MRI. They found spots on her frontal lobe that suggest shear trauma. My heart sank. They talked about personality changes and long term care facilities. It felt very grim. 

Then this morning they said they thought her organs were pushing thru her diaphragm into her chest cavity. Plus she was pretty unresponsive and uncommunicative.

We prayed hard and asked for others to join us in praying. She went for a CT of her chest to learn what was going on with her organs and got the good news that it was fine. There are pockets of fluid around her spleen and liver that will take care of themselves and that were making the muscle look compromised when it wasn’t.   Miracle!

She went for her tube surgery and that went great. Collapsed lung is working just fine as well so now she can go to the hyperbaric chamber.

Then this afternoon she started talking.  A lot. She passed her swallow test. She participated in PT and OT. She’s been in a great mood. She doesn’t recognize me or Dani but tells about her life with good details. She was cracking us up. Miracle 7-22!!

So she’s not out of the woods and we can’t be certain but I really feel like she will continue to improve.
