My small friend Nettie continues to go through physical therapy as they try to help her relearn to use her muscles and wait for her to come out of her coma. She has a long road ahead of her, but last night, friend Ericka arrived to find mommy & daddy seemed much less stressed. Mommy soon explained why.
Nettie had been in therapy, and was finishing up, when the therapist said, "Bye Nettie," and waved at her. No one could believe it when a tiny little hand lifted by itself and bent itself in a little wave. Just a fluke? No. She asked her to wave again, and she did, all by herself.
This was a great day, they told her. Thumbs up. And the little hand turned and stuck her thumb up in the gesture that just might become mommy & daddy's favorite one ever. Not only does it mean she's gaining some control and use of the muscles that have been unused for all this time, it also means Nettie's still there. Thumbs up, Nettie. Hang in there.
Thanks for your prayers and keep them coming.
