michelle's apparently talking up a storm now. she definitely has visual recognition of her family, although she doesn't always remember all their names. but apparently she worked out the TV remote on her own (he was pretty proud of that; i said "hey, she's always been a quick learner") and somebody on whatever show (my guess is "bernie mac", but ( Read more... )

encephalitis, improvement, michelle

Thanx - too busy to respond right now. Work blows. Very good news, waiting for better.

forgot to mention the extra-good news -- she's already asking to go home. they're going to try and get her sitting up on the edge of the bed for a while today, and start building up her strength. i think it can only get better from there.

Hopefully soon she'll be back to...Michelle. Was about to say normal,
but she's one of us.

nixieq January 20 2006, 20:25:13 UTC

well, normal for HER, at least. >:)

i'm really hoping that getting the drugs & such out of her system combined with increasing her activity will get things firing properly in her brain.

send her some pics, huh? especially since she's known you & me a long enough time that, even if some shorter-term/more recent memories are fried, she oughta recognize us.

I'm so glad to hear that. Thank you. *relieved sigh*

(er, I forgot to log in before...)

no problem. >:) i was wondering who that was.

there's still no guarantee that she'll get, well, back to being her, but she's apparently improving pretty drastically, and the brain is an amazing organ. i'm really hopeful.

Great news!!! Sorry to be catching up on this late...I've been away from teh journal for awhile...will send her a family-safe e-funny to try and cheer her up. :-)

nixieq January 23 2006, 20:20:59 UTC

well, bear in mind that she currently doesn't have access to a computer at the hospital (i seriously doubt that they have laptops in this family). they were just willing to print out pics to give her. so if it's non-animated, it could do. >;) sorry if i wasn't clear about that!

blimpcaptain January 23 2006, 20:45:50 UTC

Okay...gotcha...maybe just a pic, then. :-) Glad to hear that she is doing better, at any rate!
