Update from Little Moon man....

A very quick update. I'm on my way to the hospital.

Sis had rough night. She's been tossing, turning and moaning. We think she can feel "pain" and is responding to that. They had to restrain her so she doesn't hurt herself. She has opened her eyes once. She didn't show any signs of awareness but being able to respond by opening eyes is an important step towards getting better. They have continued to watch her and since 5:30 am she has been calm.

I had a chance to come home and catch a nap. Just got called with the news that she has opened her eyes again.

Will let you know more when I get back.

At least pain tells us we're alive...

Lots of to you, Moonie... keep coming back toward us...

That is good news, Abs. Even pain is a good sign because it means our dear Moonie is regaining consciousness.

Hang in there. We're all behind you.

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

yeah!!!
come on Elf..keep fighting, we miss you!
