Then you are going to love this, Shobha.....

My Sweet Love is not only awake but off the vent. I came to her room last night and she had an oxygen mask on. I brought yellow tulips and a purple frame with a picture of her cat in it. I gave her the flowers and said I needed to brighten up her room. Then I said that I knew she would love them, but would love this more. When I put the framed picture up close to her face she smiled hard.

Mom answered all our yes and no questions without hesitation, without confusion. Although she was a bit medicated and tired from breathing on her own, she was repeating something over and over. I figured it out. She was saying "I love you, I love you, I love you!" She is so happy to be alive and of course so are we.

She still needs those continued prayers because she has a very long way to go. The important thing is she is awake and off the vent, the rest will come in time.

I have to thank all of you again for the prayers, especially since she has prayed for all of us here by name. Hey, what goes around comes around, right? How blessed I am to have you all as part of my family!!>>Believe51
