For those who are following my sister's journey, I have been in California since Friday, and there has been nothing but good news to report. Thank you for your prayers...
She is talking in FULL sentences, most times coherent, sometimes not, but she is speaking, remembering, giving advice, shelling out orders, sending us home when she is tired, all of that and it is good!
Yesterday, she passed the swallow test and had her first morsel of food since Feb 2nd. Imagine that! No liquids and no food for 38 days! She was rhet' to eat! Ice chips and applesauce are her new best friends!
When the therapist asked her to write something, she wrote with her left hand, she is right hand dominant, so even that should have been a challenge, but she wrote, "I mean buzinezz", indicating immediately to the therapist that she purposely misspelled business. My nephew said it's an inside joke. 🤷🏾 All that matters is that she is moving toward recovery AND that she means Buzinezz' in doing it! LOL!
We have a very long way to go but we are on our way! We now pray that she is accepted into a very rigorous and intense rehab program so that her fight for recovery can continue. I tell you, that she is still here, is a miracle! I keep telling her that. She has quite a will to live, a strong purpose to live, or both. Either way, when she is ready and able, she will have one helluva' story to tell...
She knows that you all are praying for her, which also fuels her fighting spirit. I join her in thanking you all VERY MUCH! Please keep praying and/or sending positive affirmations. If ever it takes a village, it is in times like this. I will keep you posted...
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
