Semi good news all round!
Monday: Peta was awake :) eyes open, looking at you when you spoke to her. Lifting her head, morving her left arm and left foot. I realised that she was doing the same sequence of movement over and over, but it was better :)
Wednesday: Yarni got a nice judge :)
Thursday: Visited Peta on my own last night. She had obviously just bee bathed as her hair was all wet and they had dressed her in her own PJ's! yay! The ventilator had also been disconnected- so she is breathing on her own! Peta was asleep as she had been worn out with the whole bathing thing, but they had the TV on for her which I thought was nice. I Had a chat with the nurse and apparently Peta is following simple commands such as blinking her eyes to answer questions and squeezing a hand (although faintly!) on command :) I was so excited hearing it, but it really didn't seem real.
Peta woke up for a bit and was looking at me while I was stroking her arm. The nurse told her she was going to give her an injection, and after it was done she asked peta to blink her eyes if she was ok- and she did! I almost cried. It was so incredible. I guess it was bittersweet though, my though is- if she is following commands, does that mean she is trapped inside her body?? Adam says it may be that she is starting all over again - learning to do things, rather than re-learning or struggling to do things that she could do before. I really hope so.
Washed some of her clothes- so will be going back to see ehr tomorrow! will go after lunch so that she is awake.
Going to a free comedy show tonight- apparently some comedian who is going to the Edinburgh festival testing his material! should be cool.
Picnic in green park tomorrow to drink up some (or alot!) of the duty free vodka we have collected!
