The blessing of today was three (count them....three) spontaneous eyes open (notice the plural on that eyes) experiences. Usually a move prompts the eye opening but today she just did it herself.
Granted it is for seconds but Hey! we take it and we rejoice and we praise God and then we anticipate the next item.
Her left eye swelling is so reduced and Josh did a beautiful job softening up the gunk --- so much so that it was able to open.
Her temp is steady. No antibiotics today.... She was up in the cardiac chair for 5 hours and at one point has all three seat belts unharnessed either through unhooking, squirming, or wiggling. She is back in bed now and pretty zonked out.
Someone asked about our schedule: We finally moved to a somewhat shared schedule. Josh and I agree that when she does wake up one of us should be with her....of course, we want it to be both of us but we just get too tired. With some encouragement, Josh sleeps out of the hospital every other night and so do I. We spell each other during the day doing exercises, running errands, answering emails, writing updates. We are suppose to go home, sleep without an alarm and come in when we wake up. Sometimes you just wake up and are re-living the nightmare phone call. Sometimes you wake up with a peace-filled feeling of the last accomplishment she achieved. What an unexpected adventure.
