Here to renew my support. Please get better, Moonie. We miss you.

Note: Having people there talking to her is the best thing that can be done. I did some research on comas for a story a couple of years ago. Talking to them is a good thing, it keeps the brain working.

If I could I'd spell her family.

for our Moonlight Elf.

I posted this in the candle thread and thought I would post it here too...

A little prayer for our Moonie....

Moonlight Elf we pray you can hear us!
Because we want you back
With all your brain waves back on track

We love you more than you will ever know
We want to give you a great big hug to show you so

You have to wake up from your peaceful slumber
So open those beautiful eyes and look around you
To see all the people who love you dearly
And want to see you have full recovery

Come on, Moonie. Wake up, we're missing you much.

 

[kendo1]

This is too much.

We must have some good luck for the end of the year.

Moonie, we need you.

 

[rgraham666]

I dread coming into this thread. But I have to.

Sending my love your way, Moonie. Please come back.

Moonie.. I hope you are well and that you come back to us, if not I'll hunt down the drunk SOB that did this to you. I'm sick of idiots getting behind the wheel after they've been drinking, it really pisses me off and now one of my friends is in a coma due to it

 

[joeys-game]

Please Elf, please wake up and come on back to us

some improvement

Got this note a bit back(replaced her name with SIS):

Early this morning SIS began to show signs of improvement. Theyhave been monituring her with the GCS it is a scale of 3-15. The higher the score the better and a score of 3 is considered brain dead. The scoring is based on 3 responses:eye, verbal and motor. The final score is the sum of the individual scores from each section.

Eye Opening Response
Spontaneous--open with blinking at baseline 4 points
Opens to verbal command, speech, or shout 3 points
Opens to pain, not applied to face 2 points
None 1 point

Verbal Response
Oriented 5 points
Confused conversation, but able to answer questions 4 points
Inappropriate responses, words discernible 3 points
Incomprehensible speech 2 points
None 1 point

Motor Response
Obeys commands for movement 6 points
Purposeful movement to painful stimulus 5 points
Withdraws from pain 4 points
Abnormal (spastic) flexion, decorticate posture 3 points
Extensor (rigid) response, decerebrate posture 2 points
None 1 point

Earlier during the week the sum of her points had only added up to a 4. She had no eye or verbal response and minimal motor response.

Last night for the first time she has responded to stimuli..."pain" by moving her arms away(not just spastic flexion). They have keep watch over her through the day and her motor response has remained pretty much the same. And an even better news is that she is now also verbally responding. Not in speach or words but more sounds. That is an improvement from before.

Her total score is 8 at the moment. Anything equal to 8 or less than is classified as Severe but she's boderline to moderate and I'm feeling hopeful.


She is fighting the coma

Great news!

Thanks fairy.

Sending more strength her way.

 

[fairysong]

I will, I will....I just feel like I should have called when my gut told me to. No sense regretting it now. Just worried. Dammit, I wish I could talk to her....

Oh fairy....

No regrets. Just keep her in your thoughts and you'll reach her. I am guilty of not having talked to her in sometime but I plan to make that up.


we'll talk to her soon

I'll have to let her brother know that.

Thanks Rob
