Thank you for the update!

Just to let you know, my brother was in an accident years ago, he was in a coma for over 12 days and now, married, has a new baby and a great job!

She will be fine! She is too strong to let anything get her down!
Lots of love and prayers,
C :rose: :heart:

This is good to know. I was worried about her chances of a full recovery.
Thanks :rose:

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 :)
Excellent news!

Its so weird, I recieved a package today from her for Christmas. I saw the return addy and it kinda freaked me out...when I opened it there was a framed photo she had taken of a gorgeous sunrise.
I think its a sign. ;)

I'll pray that it is. :heart:
 
Outstanding news.

My wife and I keep her in our thoughts. There is a candle lit for her, and it will remain lit until we know the outcome.

Those who are there are also in our thoughts. My wife and I know how hard it is to deal with this.

I think it is just her brother. He did say she had a few friends visit but basically she only has him there with her. I feel so bad not being able to do anything.

You and Mrs. Cat are wonderful :heart:
 
I just saw this, as I haven't been on since the birth of the AppleBaby. Sending my thoughts and prayers out to Moonie. :rose: Best wishes for a speedy recovery, love. :heart:

Also, it's going to start getting lighter for longer now that we're past the solstice.

I got my power back on last night.

I took the extended time without power to begin a re-read of LoTR, after about 30 years, and just got past the episodes with Tom Bombadil and Goldberry, sort of the Moonlit Elves of the first book at least.

There are positive signs if you look for them. I hope they add up to positive energy for the Elf. :)
 
Good news to wake up to. Hope is up. C'mon Moonie.
 
Shit, I just found this news.

Sending you lots of positive energy, Moonie.
Love and support to her brother too.

Off to light a candle.
