Rebecca Update

Hello Family and Friends,
Today Rebecca continued on her journey to recovery. When we arrived this morning we were told she had an uneventul evening of sleep; looked very comfortable and had really good color. While Ingrid and I were standing at the foot of her bed, the nurses were making sure the blood product name and patient matched, This is when we noticed that Rebecca was nodding when they read her name, WOW !!!! WOW!!!! WOW!!!! She was hearing and responding!!!!! :) Then she began to open her eyes and the nurse (Stacey)asked her if she recognized who was standing at the foot of her bed, to which she again nodded Yes!!!!!!! We were overjoyed with this development and realized Rebecca is on her way Back to us. This was at 9AM PST, a few hours later she got an epidural, which she also tolerated like a true champ, they sat her up for that. Unfortunately we couldn't stay in the room, too many staff, and we didn't want to be in the way. We are currently (1430) awaiting extubation of her airway and getting off of the ventilator. I'll let you know in the next update how the journey continues............
Love You All,
Ron and Rebecca
