Today is a good day! When I walked in I saw her beautiful eyes looking at me. She is very alert and responsive. She is trying her best to move around but can't very much because of all the machines. The doctors are hopeful that they will be able to remove the ventilator today. She is breathing on her own today. The ventilator is still in place to help if she needs it. She may be able to stay off of the sedation now. They did tell me if they had to put her back on sedation it was ok, it is just so she can rest a little more.
Everyone keep praying for her. She needs to feel your strength. I'm sure it has all been very scary for her waking up today. I've assured her she is good and we are all giving her strength and our love and prayers.
I will be back to see her as soon as I can. They made me leave so she can rest. She would not rest with me there. She kept a hold of my hand and kept looking at me. She got her love from Brennan, too.
Thank you GOD!!!!!
Me-> But Happy tears!
How wonderful to lock eyes with her and truly know she saw you and responded well!

I got to talk to her, and she was able to talk back! She is off of the ventilator now. She isn't supposed to talk. But, you know her she wanted to talk so she did. They made me leave so she could rest. I'm going to try to get a little rest also and then go back.
I want all of you to know how much you have meant to us, especially Mommy. She is a fighter, but she needed the help you have all given her with your thoughts and prayers. Keep praying for her please. She has a ways to go still. I'm hopefull now that it will all be steps forward.

Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!! .....
Yay for our Cindy. I just knew she'd pull thru this and keep getting better....I just walked in the door and what wonderful news to read, that she's been awake and alert and talking. Thank you God.
That is the best news I have heard all week. God does answer prayers especially when they are coming from all around the Earth. We are still praying hard for Cindy.

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. Mary Ann LaPensee
i haven't posted much, but i've been monitoring this during all my hours online (even at work) and called and bugged loz when i wasn't on. i just wanted to say i'm still praying and i'm grateful that she is waking up now. bill, have you made it back yet?
i think he's been taking care of cindy's critter kids... lola, shadow, and smokey joe. they need loving several times a day also. i know he was going back and forth between them and cindy. and working in the garden too.
We're heading back up that way soon. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that things are still in a positive direction. When I went back earlier they had had to put a rebreather on her so she wasn't able to talk. Still much better than the vent though. I'm very grateful for every step.

Yes, Yes, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wonderful news for our Cindy! Except, I am somewhat worried about Bill.............I am sure he is keeping busy, but it would be good to see at least a thumbs up from him! Everyone stay strong and I will keep my thoughts of healing still going her way!
Aww, Brennan did such a good job typing that message about his Cindy Granny!
Rachel, does she realize that she had been totally out of it for a while? That would be pretty scary waking up and days being gone.....BUT necessary for her body to recuperate and heal.
Thank you for the updates, I think without them we'd all be going
I'm so relieved that she's finally making good improvements. Power of prayer does work miracles for sure.

I don't know if she realizes for sure or not. She is awake now but she can't talk. There is an oxygen rebreather mask on her. She was only able to talk a small bit earlier today. Even when she has the mask off they don't want her to try to talk. Her throat has been through a lot of trauma. I've told her several times what day it is and how many days she was asleep.
