    Default Out Of The Coma

    When the nurse checked on Alessa today, she asked the big question that we didn't dare ask: Are you in any pain? Alessa said, "NO!". She's just achy all over from not using her muscles in so long. She said that she's just fine with being achy.

    We suspected that she wasn't in pain because she hasn't reacted to anyone's touch. The nurse rubbed her arms and legs with moisturizer today and Alessa was just fine. We've been holding our breath waiting to see her reaction to each touch. So far, so good!!!!

    She's still not lucid. She's having more clear moments today, but most of what she says has nothing to do with what's really going on. Most of the nurses don't speak any English. Imagine being in a hospital room in another counrty with nurses that don't speak any English and your daughter speaking only nonsense! I kept hoping that someone would wake me from this dream!

    Today is a much better day. Alessa's improving a little at a time. Nurses who could speak a little English came on duty.

    Default Out Of The Coma

    Well, physical therapy started today and it's gonna be a long *** arduous haul.....but.......but........Alessa may very well walk again. She has nothing but muscle atrophy through her leg muscles (she hasn't walked in 3 years). She leaned on this "walking gizmo" and went 30 feet. Her legs were quivering and her heart was racing as though she had just done sprints!!! Heart-wrenching and thrilling at the same time for the wife and myself.
