Mary had a good day today. There were really so set backs of any kind. Her vital signs remain strong. I met with the doctor this morning and he gave me some positives. He said all these little things that she is doing, are all good signs. He still is encouraged that she has a chance to make a pretty good recovery. He also said that she may actually be a little ahead of where he thought she would be at this point. All this is good, and I know that. But, Mary is still in ICU in critical condition. For some reason I just can't let myself celebrate with good news. I am so scared of setting myself for a fall if I do..I guess. I just want her to wake up. Selfish or not, that's what I want. At about 5:50pm tonight my Mom and Regan were making one last visit before some of us went down to the cafeteria to have some dinner. While they were talking to Mary, she opened her left eye all they way the right eye partially. My Mother was bending down talking to Mary to reassure that we all love her and she is doing well. My Mom said a tear then came out of Mary's eye and rolled down her face, why her eye was focused on my Mom. Then she wiped the tear with her right hand. Slowly, she went back to sleep. She is in there, she is fighting, and I can tell she wants to be her with us. I guess we are still in tune with each other, as I had to wipe my own tears writing this. I hope she has a good morning tomorrow. Keep praying. Thanks.
