I have been up there for hours since Sunday. I read one of her stories on Sunday. There were too much doing on Monday to read to her. However, our friend that she calls her sister, played a bit of an audio book to her. Today I went up and between all the medical stuff I read her some out of the book I'm reading. As I was leaving, I rubbed her shoulder and said: "Remember, "L" needs you." "L" is her great niece. She sort of flicked her eyes open for a moment. I then said: ""J" needs you too." "J" is her nephew, the father of the great niece. I didn't get a reaction out of that. But I said "I need to know if you are all right, can you at least nod your head for me." No eye blink, but she did move her head every so slightly. I went out and told the nurse about it before I left. I think this is some good news. She's still heavily drugged, but this was something.

Weird, I have the feeling I already replied to this post, may be a glitch. I am sure she listens to what you say, I hope she is improving.

Is she still intubated? That might make it difficult to nod her head.

She is, but it was a nod.

Very true, Heather, very true. And this watching her decline is very hard.

Absolutely. I did marry her to protect her from her family, but not this nephew and his family.

I do hope that she continues to improve and can get off the breathing assistance.

She has had extremely low blood pressure for some time and when she gets more vertical it gets worse. Then she coded Saturday night.
