The latest update from David:

BECCA UPDATE​

Day 15- Giggle

When we got in to see Bic first thing, she was resting quietly and her oxygens were a respectful 77 percent. The nurse said that they didn't have any problems with her during the night and they didn't have to resort to restraining her.

The neuro surgeon stopped by this morning and said that he was really pleased with Bics progress and raised her drain apperatus to 15 cm - so we are getting very close to the magic 20 cm where they will be thinking about removing the drain.

Bic also received another visit from the speech therapist and the therapy dog (black dog is the breed if you are interested). Bic was much more responsive this morning answering questions with a nod or shake of her head. She even formed a few words with her mouth, though I think she was surprised when there was no sound - only whisps of air. She was asked if she would like Ainsley to lie on the bed with her. She said that she would. She put one arm round him and the other under and didn't want him to go.

Later she was asked if she would like to watch a video to which she said yes. She watched it for a short while, then turned away and listened. The suddenly made a noise and Mandy thought she was coughing. Then she did it again and she realized that she was giggling at the movie.

The morning was very tiring for Bic and she was ready for a rest. She slept for much of the afternoon. Later on there was a repeat of yesterday afternoons lower oxygens and a high temperature. They were less pronounced than yesterday, though and her oxygens were only going down to the mid 60's compared with the 50's yesterday.

This evening Bic watched a bit of Wallace and Gromit and had a little giggle for me. It was so nice to hear an emotion from her.

She didn't watch it for long before she turned over and closed her eyes. We are not sure if she is sad because she kept weeping intermittently. We think her emotions are beginning to surface.

Bic hasn't had any pain medication since yesterday evening (oxycoden) and has been doing well on the methadone and neurontin. We don't think she had any Ativan last night.

We think it is the neurontin that is causing the temperature rise and falling oxygen sats simply because they seem to happen after the drug has been given.

This has been Bics best day so far, but it illustrates how far she has got to go before she can leave the hospital.

Bic is now residing at 3TS room 12 (3 tower south).
