TODAY @ 24 March 2009

Today would be the day that has to be remembered because its the first time since having been here and visiting her every single day that there is a significant improvement!

So basically, what happened is that the doctors here have put her on a smaller dosage of sedative drugs already and considering the fact that nothing has been going wrong for the past one day or so, its definitely a good sign.

Also, every single day and every single hour, the nurses would have to perform this "coma check" on my mum. It is basically a series of mini tests to check how deep in coma is the patient in and the result is on a scale from 3 to 15, with 3 being in the deepest state of coma. So, ever since I've got here, her result has always been 3. Until today. From what we heard from the nurses, her coma check result today is 5! Meaning that she's now more or less able to react if we pinch her hard enough of something like that.

The final thanksgiving is that we believe now that she is definitely able to hear us. Now, we would notice that she would sometimes move her right leg or maybe her right arm if she wants to react. One of my aunt even felt a little squeeze when she was holding my mum's left hand!

I guess I could say that we're all definitely very glad to see this improvement in her! Now I can say that all the running to and fro from the hospital has been worth it. Its definitely a huge sigh of relief for us. Hopefully, the next entry would be filled with way more better things ya!
