Day 4 1/2 Fish Oil

Quick update Selah is doing so much since I've come over after supper that I am going to stay....something is going on with her....I think it is good....

She has been sticking her tongue out of her mouth so much and stretching it into a U shape.  This is something I've never seen her do like this.  I ended up giving her another Popsicle because of her sticking her tongue out so much.  She used to do that to show she was thirsty.  She wasn't as much into the Popsicle but she did lick it a few times and suck on it.  Then she had her "cry face" on so I quit.

When the nurse was doing somethings, like changing her she literally pushed herself forward out of the bed with her shoulders.  It's hard to explain but it is new.  She was also moving one arm like she was trying to get away. Also her arms/hands are so relaxed except when we were changing her clothes, of course!   She seems to be showing more agitation just since supper time....

Why is that important?  Because she got her first FULL dose of Fish Oil at 5 pm!!!

Around 9 pm she started falling asleep, then I'd hear her make a big sigh, I'd check and her heart rate would be like 120 for about 5-10 seconds then it would drop down to normal.  It seemed to me almost like she was dreaming and being startled in the dream, like she was dreaming of falling or something scary.  This probably happened 5 times in a 1.5 hour period. 

Just everything is different...different good I think.  When Selah was evaluated to see where she was on the coma scale, we were told about  Level 4 comas (she's a level 3) and how there is alot of agitation with the patient when they are in  stage 4.  It is looking to me like that maybe starting. 

Please note I am trying not to exaggerate  anything, just writing down things as I see them happen.  As a mom I notice things that are different quicker than anyone else would.  I'm seeing things tonight that I have never seen Selah do since the accident.  Little things, but several little things all at once.....we honestly don't know what to think.... I wish her therapist were here.   It's a good thing I don't have her phone number or I'd be calling her to come and watch Selah with me LOL

My FB posts tonight.....
Selah seems restless tonight. She blew out her breath and I looked over and her heart rate was 120 then it went back down. She also did a little stretch, she is not stiff at all except for her ankles. She had been sleeping. This is different, not 100% sure that it is good but it is different and new.  she also had her tongue stuck WAY out of her mouth like she was thirsty and so I tried another Popsicle and she started crying; she is also stretching more tonight, NOT postering, there is a difference.  I almost am thinking I need to stay over here just in case.....I don't know if the "just in case" is good or bad.....
I'm trying to stay calm and balanced right now.... a part of me is freaking out GOOD and a small part is worried.....in the past hour she is asleep and she will startle and let out a deep breath and stretch, not posterure and her heart rate will hit about 124 and then drop right down to the 90's. Almost like she is waking up from a dream of falling or something....I don't know

So I don't know what is going on but it is different....I've never felt like I had to stay with her because she might move around too much or get upset before....

I've slept by her bed on nights, that I wasn't sure she'd survive...this is a much better night!  We're thinking we are seeing some small but significate changes.....please keep praying for Selah!
