Time To Eat | Main | Oh, One Other Thing...

Another Day...
We went to see Jules last night, having caught up on sleep lost from Thursday and Friday.
She's still not talking. Her left side is completely frozen, and she's unable to move anything that side. Communication is simple, either clicking fingers, thumbs up, and as of last night, notepad and pen. She has now opened her left eye fully, which is a good sign as it suggests movement is slowly returning to that side of the body. She's not eating, everything being given by drip still as she's unable to swallow or open her mouth properly. A side effect is she's passing some very large amounts of wind, much to her amusement!
Words and phrases are back to front, i.e. she writes things like Yoda, e.g., "Much whiring is ear my". Oh, and despite much grunting arguing, I was born in 2001, which makes me a lot younger than I feel!
Frightening for me, she's nothing like the last time. But the doctors assure us that there's nothing to worry about and she'll slowly recover in the next few weeks.
Fingers soooo tightly crossed it hurts.
