Today Angela is awake. Not entirely, but definitely enough to communicate. She nods or shakes her head, points, and otherwise lets me know what she wants. It is great to have her back.
She was getting a little panicky this morning, but by evening seemed more calm. She is moving her head, exercising her neck, and also moving her legs and arms trying to give them some exercise. She had PT yesterday, but today she's still fighting this infection, so they held it. Hopefully, tomorrow she will resume.
She got a chance to breathe on her own this afternoon for about 20 minutes. She still has the ventilator tube in her throat, but there is a setting on it that lets her do all the work, and they had her on that. The rash that she has had was itching her today, so she got some Benadryl.
It seems so nice to have the major issues be things like fever, rash, and itchiness.
We continue to thank God for healing her and all of you who have kept her in your prayers. There are likely still issues to be faced, but I expect they will not be as significant as what she's been through.
