Sis-in-Law needs a Prayer filled miracle
The latest good news update..... ECMO was removed the other day and they also moved her out of the CCU and into a regular ICU room.
Speech therapist comes in daily to assess her vocal chords an PT has had her sitting on the edge of the bed. After 18 days of laying on her back, they tried to get her to stand, but the muscles just aren't ready for that yet.
They did and MRI on her head to make sure there were no errant blood clots heading to the brain. All clear!
Continue to pray. She's not ready to escape yet.
Also pray for my MIL. She is still in denial that all this happened to her favorite baby, and just doesn't grasp the severity of the situation. We had told her what to expect with both the speech and physical therapy, yet she was nearly horrified and left the room in tears when they did their initial assessments. Then she turns around and tells SIL that she should be home by this weekend.
No Mom, she's in for the long haul and you need to accept the fact that her choices that you backed her up on nearly killed her and has led her here.
