Just to clarify for any of you wondering (a couple of people asked this week).
Callie IS AWAKE from her COMA. The inability to open her eyelids all the way at this time, is due to "partial 3rd nerve damage". She also currently has a palsy to the left side of her face.
These are things that can heal over time, but the only way to know, is to wait & watch.
The opthamologist has let us know that there is a (reversible) surgery that can be done to "tack" her eyelids open, but he feels that it is too soon to be doing it yet.
She is progressing so quickly that only time will tell of any other issues she may or may not have down the road!
Her caregivers are absolutely in AWE of her progress. I think that this story ( I will tell you) is the perfect indicator of how fast she has progressed! Her speech therapist told Jeff & I yesterday, that one of the "goals" that she had set for Callie this past week was to say one word, at least 3 times. She said, "she has FAR surpassed that just with 'UH-OH!'" She has said that, at least 50 times a day for the past several days!
I hope this gives a clear picture of where she is right now!
Our family will fast again for her this Sunday for anyone that would like to join us! A big part of our fast will be an outpouring of GRATITUDE for her LIFE & her Progress & that it will continue!
We thank you ALL & Love you TOO!
