Thank you everyone, again. She's doing a lot better and showing incremental, but steady improvement. Yesterday in a single day alone, she went from twitching right eyelid, to opening her right eyelid, to moving her arm on her own, to being able to squeeze and release on command, to be able to understand the difference between hot and cold.
Today they've taken her off the ventilator, so she's breathing on her own now. She managed to smile when I cracked a joke, was squeezing my hand, seemed to nod and understand what I said. She even said a weak little "hello." God I love her so much.
>>300744I've done this. My mother and my sister have had a tumultuous, violent at times relationship. My sister hasn't been afraid to get physical with her, she's threatened to suffocate her to death in the past.
Technically she didn't DO anything at the hospital, but it was her behaviour, demeanour and overall how she was that had my gut instinct screaming at me and telling me to say something. She was speaking schizobabble by the end of the night and saying she was gonna "come home", meaning to my mother's home. Last time she was even in the house, my mother had screamed at her and was totally livid, telling her to get out. She hasn't lived in the house for over 15 years.
