When Rita arrived at the hospital today, the primary doctor came running after her to tell her that Cindy is responsive. The doctor was thrilled. Her exact words were "This is a good day." Coming from a cautious doctor, this was excellent news. Cindy was able to look at the doctor when the doctor called her name and was able to nod her head when the doctor asked her a question.
Dr. Debbie is going to take a little credit here. She suggested that they remove the Fentanyl drip so she can wake up. They did that and Voila! She is doing better (but still not out of the woods).
Cindy is not on any medication. That includes no pain killer and no sedation. She is able to keep her Blood pressure up without medication. She is Breathing partially on her own. She can initiate the ventilator to breathe. The ventilator is also expanding her lungs after each breath so her oxygen saturation improves.
Cindy responded to Debbie, Rita and Mary when spoken to but seemed confused at times. Tonight she was able to sit in a chair for about an hour. That is GREAT progress.
This is Tammy's card to her Aunt Cindy. That's a picture of Cindy as Superman because she has super powers.
Debbie's conversation with Cindy:
"Are you in pain"? Shakes her head no,
"Headache"? Shakes her head no,
"Dizzy"? Shakes her head no.
"Am I being a pain the in the neck"? Nods her head yes.
Text conversation with Phedra after she finds out that Cindy is responsive:
Phedra: "You need to remind her that I want my Leslie Gore records back."
Debbue: "I gave Cindy your message. She nodded her head yes."
Phedra: "Sure! Like she means it! I'm gonna have to get out there and beat her up. In the meantime, plant a little kiss on her, will you"?
