Hi Everyone,A friend made the great suggestion that I create a blog to keep everyone updated as to Cindy's progress. As of this morning, she continues to do remarkably well. She's awake and alert and recognizes everyone. Everything moves as it should and she's beginning to remember things that she hadn't before. For the most part, though, her short-term memory is shot for the moment. Yesterday she expressed some irritation with the whole ordeal...that is, she said she was sick of all this and that she's getting tired of it all. It seemed to me that this was a good sign and the nurse agreed that it was. I don't think she remembers it today, though. She's also getting very irritated with me when I have to restrain her hand when she tries to mess with the shunt in her head or the catheter in her neck. That's the big problem right now...keeping her from messing with all that stuff, so they keep her restrained except when she eats. She's feeding herself, though, and is eating everything they give her. She's also being uniquely "Cindy" which is most encouraging. I'll try to post updates regularly but be patient if I don't (for obvious reasons). Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
