update
The last time I posted regarding my sister that is in a coma, we had a small shred of hope. Three weeks ago, the doctor told Jean's (my sister)daughters and husband that she had only about a 5% chance of coming out of the coma. She had heard a few noises and was now looking at you as you moved. The doc said that if she did come out of the coma, she may be nothing more than a vegetable.
Three days ago, she started trying to talk. They had taken the intubation tube out so as not to harm her vocal chords from it being in too long; and had inserted a trach tube. Not only that, but if you asked her who you were---she told you. She knew everyone!!! Her grandchildren would show her things, like a flower, a playing card, money, etc. and she knew what everything was!!! They had her up out of bed and sat her in a chair for 5 hours on Wednesday!!! Yesterday, they managed to have her try to get up to stand from a chair. She managed to get her butt off the seat. But that in itself was great!!!! She had been in a coma since Sept 9th!!!
I brought one of the roses I had brought her, to her nose for her to smell. I told her to smell----she did. And I said, "Pretty, huh?" She gave me a HUGE smile!!!!! All those prayers worked.....as they always do. And I and her family thank you all for them. Please continue to pray for her recovery!!! And again----thank you all for being so supportive. As always.
