Today, mom was not responding to stimulus until around 1:30 p.m. She was responsive for about an hour, then went back to a deep sleep.
In the morning the doctors performed several tests to determine why she was not responding. All the test results were negative. Some even showed that she is improving.
When I went to the hospital after work, she woke up for about 30 minutes. Before the 6pm shift change, she went back to a deep sleep. Sonya and I returned at 8:15 p, after the shift change and she was still unresponsive.
The doctors and nurses say this could be the body needing to rest after a long day of tests. The exhaustion combined with the fact that they stopped feeding her for a day because of nausea could make her very tired.
It was hard to see her not responding to us after being spoiled for the past 3 days.
Please keep praying. Today was tough.

Dear Stephen and Sonya,
ReplyDeletePerhaps she is just resting deeply... sleep is when the body does it's best repair.. far better than when awake with so many distractions. This may be a very good thing. We know the Lord is there in her rest. I know how much you want to hear her voice & responding to your presence... but we must wait again..I know it is so hard.
God is wise...and we trust Him.
We love you so much...Mikki & David
