Today
posted on 07/14/2007
They are thinking of taking Chloe off the ventilator today. she's very stable and trying to pull the tube out on her own... fighter she is! she's pretty pittiful looking (just like her newborn NICU pictures when she was on ventilator).
She loves getting "lipstick" on; her lips get dry so she gets some Carmex lip conditioner. Makes her nod her head and the little sweetie, smacks her lips afterward just like when we do lipstick at home.
No leg movement today. Docs think she's in spinal shock as the cord messages stopped before they even decompressed her spinal cord. It was very fragile and on the verge of losing function on it's own. We really acted just in time.
Docs also say there is a "significant" chance she'll regain movement and for family and friends to use their connections upstairs to pray for assistance with this. Thank you to all those praying... we know they are helping.
