It's 4:00 in the morning!!!!

It is late and I need to get to bed but I want to share some thoughts with you.

Patsy has been unable to walk on her own for a couple of months now and as you know, she has been in a diaper for about the same amount of time. While laying in bed, she has not been able to move her legs a lot and her arms have been getting worse, She has not been able to eat by herself and needs to be fed. But, she still is able to communicate with us and she knows who we are and where she is. She also knows what you are saying to her but she has been unable to do more then yes and no answers. That all change a week or so ago and things are moving in a different direction. At 4:19 this morning. I was awakened by Patsy throwing the covers off and then kicking them off. I asked her what she was doing and she said "I have to go pee".

Now. with out you being here, You might not understand how big a deal that was. First of all, she was kicking the covers. Secondly, she said more then two words in a sentence. And last but not least, she felt the need to go to the bathroom.Most of the time she doesn't know until she is actually doing it in her diaper. I told her that she just needed to go in her diaper and she didn't want to, again good news. It gets better!!!!

The girls said that they fed her and then she asked for more, That never happens. Usually you can't get her to eat enough. Then she took the water bottle out of their hands and drank it by herself. Holy Crap!!!!!

I fed her tonight and she ate a bunch and we talked and she said more then usual. Thereasa said everytime she checked on her today, she was moving her legs and arms and when I called to see how mom was doing, she said great!!!

Carol says she has a handle on things and that news is better then the Docs report. Thereasa asked her if she wanted some orange juice and she said "I don't think we have any." Now she would not have a clue as she has not seen the inside of the fridge for months. But the fact that she was thinking about it was good.

Not being here and not seeing her, it is hard to express why we are so optimistic but we are and I hope you might have a better idea about her condition. We are way ahead of where they said we would be at this time in the game. Keep riding along with us and I will keep you up to date. RAZ
