Melisa has done so well today! She is steadily becoming more aware and staying awake and alert for much longer periods of time and even wanted to watch some TV tonight. Still on the ventilator but also still at 0!! Paula (Mel's sister-in-law) went to the 8o'clock visit and since Melisa was so awake and alert they called Boo on the phone and Mel nodded in response to what he was saying and smiled too! Aidan sent her a card with a recorded message on it today and she smiled at that as well :) so slowly but surely we are making progress and headed in the right direction. Maybe tomorrow we will be able to hear her voice again!
