When we got here this morning, they were planning to move Maria to a bed that converts to a wheel chair. The RT came in to give her breathing treatment, and she asked maria if there was anything she wanted, and Maria replied, "I want to hold my baby." Now did that choke you up? If it didn't, you are in the minority. Anyhow, yes, we have pictures. They were able to situate the baby on her and she got to hold her for a while. I'm sure they'll take her down every day, but she tires out and we didn't stay real long this time. I asked her if she was tired and she nodded, and I asked her if she was ready to go back and she was. Her "voice" is a bit stronger today, too.
They are calling in a neurologist to check her out in regard to getting her arms and legs working again. She's off of all oxygen, though it is available if needed. She is not as unresponsive, sad, or depressed whatever you care to call it as she was. And she's anxious for her dad to get here. He'll be in about midnight and will be her for a week. Hope we have some vacation time left for the family reunion next summer!!
