My mom made some progress today. HOORAY!! She had to have a filter put in her veins to prevent blood clots from going to her lungs, heart and brain. Her neurosurgeon doesn't want her on blood thinners so this was the alternative. While they were doing the procedure my moms nurse saw some movement under all the sterile drapes. She was like "oh my gosh is that her" and sure enough when they pulled up the drapes my mom was moving her right arm up and down. And while they had the drape up she picked her right leg up completely. We are so excited. Then while I was sitting with my mom the nurse was doing stuff to her IV and she stuck her finger in my moms left hand and my mom squeezed it. I watched her do it and it was amazing. My mom has not moved her left hand at all since the accident so that was a huge surprise. She keeps her eyes open and instead of looking like she is 1000 miles away she only looks like she's maybe 100. She still doesn't look around but she looks at you when you talk to her and she seems to be listening to what you're saying. They are small steps but it is progress. All of our prayers are working. Thank you so much for all of your love and support. We know that we have such a long way to go but the small things that happened today made it feel like we can make it. Keep praying!!
