Good Morning and Happy Monday!
Sorry for the every two week posts now. Unfortunately, I only want to post if there is a lot to say.
Last Tuesday was her birthday, a very hard day, but she had a lot of visitors and a lot of activity which made it a good day for her.
People brought flowers, balloons, cake, Lumpias, cards and best wishes for her speedy recovery.
As I missed being able to do my tradition of calling her first thing in the morning and singing Happy Birthday to her and then going to dinner with her at her newest favorite restaurant in Tracy, we had to settle for singing to her in bed, eating hospital food and laying in bed with her, and hugging her so that she knows we are all there for her.
In terms of her progress, as per what the doctor has told us, her tremors are inhibiting her from waking up. Her seizures are under control. But in order to make her tremors stop, they have to sedate her to some extent, but sedating her will make her sleepy and not able to wake up anyways, so its a catch 22.
I ask of you all now, if you have a chance, and if it is not hard for you to do so, please go visit her. The visitors have dropped off and I feel her everyday life was filled with different people everyday, and she had such deep connections with all of you, that she is missing that. I know it is a far drive, but if you have a chance to do that, that would be great. I know she would love it, and the family would love it too.
She is at Kentfield Rehabilitation & Specialty Hospital
1125 Sir Francis Drake Blvd.
Kentfield, CA 94904
Hope all is well.
Good Day and God Bless

mothers day
Hi Everyone,
thank you for being patient with me. As I said before, if there are little to no improvements there will be no post, so just continue to bear with me as I post on this as much as time allows me.
SO far she is still improving a little each day. she is still in a minimal conscious state and is trying to wake up and do somethings.
According to Dr. Waters, its seems that they have subsided the seizures. Now they arer working on different medications to try to wake her up.
She hasn't had any new tests run.
she has more regular sleep and wake patterns is seems, and she has been awake more and trying to do little things.
She can still follow some simple commands, it just takes longer to process.
She is trying hard to talk and do somethings its just more difficult for her to do them at times.
Yesterday I spent a nice day with her. It was somewhat warm and we were able to take her outside and and we brought buddy to the hospital and he was able to jump up and lick her and she winced like she didn't like it. It was nice to finally have her outside, you could tell she liked being in the sun and soaking up the rays. She is with us, she can hear us... she is taking some well deserved time and rest.
Keep praying. Good day and God Bless.
