Since this morning, Carolyn has made some small (millimeter) in size gains. Again Nancy and I have learned that millimeter is good as we face Carolyn's recovery.
Her respirtory therapist reminded Nancy this afternoon that Carolyn is extremely sick and her recovery will take a long time. He also said she is slowly making progress with an emphasis on slowly.
Now a couple millimeter size steps -- when Nancy and Carolyn's sister,Ashley went into her room, Ashley spoke to the nurse and they saw Caroly open her eyes momentarily. Later on Nancy was talking on the phone about what we were going to do for Thanksgiving and she raised her arm. Nancy told me it was clear she had heard and was responding to this. (We don't know if she was agreeing or disagreeing with what we plan on doing.
Later this afternoon they turned her bed into a reclining chair and had her in a sitting position. I do not have any more information than this. I will report more tomorrow.
Her vital statistics remained constant today. Although for a time her temperature was elevated a little.
Again we thank all of you for your faith and prayers and we pray for you.
Val and Nancy
thank you for keeping us updated, any progress is good progress! So glad she is moving in the right direction, she is so lucky to have so many people care about her, and a family who has supported her so well when she needed it most. Our prayers are with you all as a family as well as for carolyn,
