She's the closest thing to awake that we have seen in 3 weeks and I can't help but smile. She still is not really "seeing" things, but she is following our sounds as we move around the room and she is lifting her hand. I swear to you earlier today, she waved good-bye. So it is a blessing to be able to "talk" to her, even though she can't really respond in a regular way. And though she responds, she is not consistant. However, she is showing enough activity that the nurse is asking me about visual cues that she gives to let me know how she is feeling. It's kind of like translating toddler talk. Only those who know the baby well know that, "ba" means "Can I have a Cheerio please?" I can already tell there are a few times she is frustrated that we can't read her mind. I can't wait until she can tell us what she thinks ... on second thought, maybe I can. However, the doctors cannot tell me when that might happen. I think when she gets ready to let me have it, I may sell tickets and we can give her a standing ovation when she is done! Something tells me she wouldn't think that is as great of an idea as I do!
They have been adjusting her vent settings and her sedation levels. She isn't really sure about what is going on, so, she gets stressed and the blood pressure goes up. They are giving her "chill out" meds to keep her calm, yet still able to evaluate her breathing. Her carbondioxide levels in her blood are still high because of the stiffness of her lungs. However, we are not sure they will change until she has a transplant.
I am still processing all of what God is teaching me. However, I am certain that the timing of the scriptures and the timing of my Bible study were not by accident, nor by my own manipulation. He purposely led me to the scriptures for the purpose of asking Him to heal Tammy. I am trusting His guidance. I am trusting His word. And I am trusting He will heal her according to His divine and perfect will.
