Last night Selah did not sleep much and her heart rate was up some. She does not seem sick at all. I feel like she might have been awake because she was stimulated by the oxygen therapy. We were told to expect changes in sleep patterns etc... I take it as a good sign.
Well, it seems like Selah is having more of a blink response. We were taught at the rehab in Jacksonville to bring two fingers right up to her eye to see if she would blink. She rarely did- maybe once in four tries. Today, she has responded just about every time I've done it. A few blinks have seemed to be a little late but we were told by the rehab/hospital to count them if they happened within 3 seconds of the "threat". We are not trying to exaggerate anything, but it is interesting!!! It needs to stay consistent and become even more apparent to others before I get too excited but so far so good.....
Just before starting my blog, I went in her room and tried it again, she was almost asleep, eyes at half mast and she blinked...every time!!!!
That's new..... That may not mean much to others but if your child is considered to be in a persistent vegative state, it is big. I hope it continues.
So just a quick update tonight, please keep her in your prayers. Thank you!!!!
This is so encouraging...great news. I am praying for Selah!
