I just got done running around the hospital getting my excited worked out...I know...I'm a big goofy woman...
Sara has been moving her head side to side, shrugging her shoulders, swallowing. And, about an hour ago, she moved her right leg in response to getting suctioned. She didn't extend it (which indicates a purely spinal reaction) , she pulled her leg up. I nearly fell over.
I looked at the respiratory therapist and asked him "did you see that?"
He said "yes, she moved her leg."
Yeah. she moved her leg. but more importantly is HOW she moved her leg. She pulled it up, instead of extending it. They've told us that she wouldn't be able to do that. Or any of the other stuff she has done the last two days.
It is still VERY early after her stroke, but you almost have to peel me off the roof. It could still be another couple of weeks before she's all done with the swelling and fluid in her head affecting her. Then we'll know her recovery starting point.
But right here, this moment, I feel like I just watched her jump out of the starting blocks for an olympic race. Go SARA!!
