GREAT News!!

First, Mike will be able to go to Lifecare tomorrow to visit Carolyn. Their anniversary is Valentine's Day so it will be even more special. He also hasn't seen her in about a month so they should have a good visit.

The "GREAT" news is that, after speaking with Lara and our cousin Carla, I was imformed that Carolyn is speaking. I know, you probably have the same reaction I did......WHAT?!!!!!(jaw-dropping open, tears in the eyes). In preparation for removing her trach the doctors have capped off her trach, so this allows her the ability to move air through the vocal cords. Now...like many things before this, she's not always consistent about it, but for us it's major progress. Most of what she has said are one or two word answers like "yes", "no", "ouch", or something like that. The answers do appear to be appropriate to the questions. Let's all hope and pray that she is lucid enough tomorrow to be able to respond to Mike. The doctors have their weekly meeting tomorrow so I will let everyone know if they have anything new to add to this. Thank you for all the prayers and well wishes. It looks like they are really working!!!!!!
