March 11, 2011

Sorry for the late update, but been busy today.

As of Friday morning this is what we know:

She is still in a coma, and is stable.

She has been moved as of this morning, from Sutter hospital in Tracy to Eden Medical in Castro Valley.

Since she has been moved to Eden, tests have confirmed there is brain activity.

Eden specializes in traumatic brain injuries, where they will conduct additional tests to confirm past diagnoses and determine course of action.

Happy moment: She has been yawning, opening her eyes to see who is visiting, wiggling her toes on command and has involuntary reflexes.

Sad moment: she has yet to do reflexes on a consistent basis, including her limbs.

  3. I just learned about this terrible news from a mutual classmate, who posted it on Facebook. Your mom and I grew up together - she lived two doors down from me. I'm definitely praying for her.
