Hi there, I had a quiet moment this evening and wanted to let you all know the latest on Cindy and her family. She is no longer classified in a coma and is at stage 3 on the Ranchos de los Amigos scale of brain trauma recovery. You can google that title and find lots more information. Basically, she's starting to wake up and can follow basic commands very well. (Simple things like blinking and moving feet or hands- not huge actions or terribly revealing, but significant.) We're still not sure of her cognitive abilities, but she seems to recognize her family and is registering different emotions. The doctors down-sized the tube in her trachea which has allowed her to start making some noises. (She is breathing on her own through the trache tube.) She will be heading to a rehabilitation center in Northern Va. before too long. Also, David was able to buy a house just around the corner from where I grew up. Small world, heh? The girls will be starting school next week at the local Elementary school just a few minutes from their new home. Please pray for godly peers and Christian teachers. I know David is grateful for the house and with a fully finished basement apartment, it seems a perfect match for them since they might need some additional help for a while. So, all in all, we continue to be so thankful to the Lord for His kindness to us all and healing touch in Cindy's life. There is still a very steep path to climb and no guarantees about the future except that He is totally in control and His ways are excellent. Honestly, what more do we really need to know? Much love to you and yours, Maggie |
