Progress

I quit the last post to stand by mom's bed because she was moving her arm. Her eyes were open and she was glancing around the room.

I have been trying to stand on her left side as much as possible. This is the side she has been neglecting. We are hoping that by standing on this side, she will turn her head that way to see us.

I was trying to catch her attention and see if she would turn her head toward me. I asked, Mom can you see me? She very slowly and deliberately turned her head a few inches and made a coughing sound. I leaned in to hear if she was trying to speak. Although it was scratchy and very soft, she definately said, "I can see you."

That was worth staying up for.

Goodnight,

Stephen

  2. Praise God! Small steps are still progress. I am so glad to hear that the tubes are out. I pray everyday that God will bring Aunt Mona back all the way to her usual, petite, fiesty, "did everyone get enough to eat" self. I love you all.

  3. That is wonderful news. Step by step. Please tell your mom that we are in the process of rounding up the applications for the Wynne Hunt UT Scholarship for this year. From what I hear, we will have applications from Orangefield for the first time in two years. That should put a smile on her face! Blessings and Hook'em!
