The occupation therapist has given Daddy some exercises to do with Mama to help her move her fingers, work her legs, etc. This morning while Daddy was doing these exercises, he noticed her eyelid flutter a little bit. So he stopped and asked her to squeeze his finger. She was able to do this once with her right hand, though she didn’t repeat it. She also wiggled her big toe when he asked her too. The neurologist gave her some commands when he came in this morning, but she didn’t do much for him. When he asked her to open her eyes, she didn’t, but when he held open her eyes for her, she did follow his finger with her eye. So, small steps, but this is the most we’ve seen from her yet!

Keep the faith….Mayo is the best place for her to be. 2 years ago on this very day-Sep 8. My brother-in-law had a brain bleed and was rushed to Mayo. After surgery and a coma, wiggling toes, and all the other important baby steps along the way…..and the love and care from the many that work at Mayo….. He is alive and well. Be patient the brain is slow to recover. Our family has walked this path and will be praying for her recovery.

Hi Lindsey,
I am so sorry to hear what has happened to your mom. I will keep her in my prayers. My stepdad had a serious heart attack at the end of July and after three weeks of an induced coma, they lifted the sedation and he STILL hasn’t woken up. So… it can really take a long time, but the organs have to have time to heal.
Will keep praying.
Lindsey, I had no idea about Bill – I am so sorry to hear that. What hospital is he in? I’ll be praying for your family!
What great news! Thank you Lindsey for keeping us up to date on how your mother is doing. We all love her and are praying for her recovery.
Thank you for your prayers Beckie! She’s getting stronger every day.
Debbie and Family,
Please know that our prayers are with you! We know that Debbie is under great care at Mayo. Keep the faith going and all will be well! Healing takes time – under His care – all will be well!
