She's awake!

Mama is doing pretty well today. She woke up yesterday evening and was trying to communicate but she's unable to speak due to the ventilator and she's so swollen and has little feeling in her fingers right now that she can't write. When she wakes up today we are going to try a keyboard and see if she can hit the keys to communicate. The doctors are very happy with the improvements that she's made especially after seeing the condition she was in when she was brought into the E.R. They thought she would have gone in a completely different direction and I'm so glad that is not the case. We usually speak daily whether it be over the phone or by email while we're both at work and I've definitely been missing our conversations. There's been many times that I'll get an email or text and I automatically assume that it is from her but once I open my email or phone and realize that it's not, reality is there to slap me in the face again. I will be flying out on Friday morning and I cannot wait to see her and my dad. This past week has been an emotional roller coaster but I couldn't be happier with the improvements she's making. I'll be there soon mama, stay strong!
