We got a call with early update from Matt this morning. He had gone in early to see Wendy. He was saying that the colostomy bag they recently put in was full and working. They have done this as she began having more bowel formation and movement after the feeding tube began. This will help “get rid” of it all and keep her cleaner in bed. He said it is kinda gross to be concerned with it, but he was happy that she had a full “poop” bag LOL!! The even better news from Matt this morning was that when he went in to her room, he said that her eyes were half open and as he walked across the room, he said it seemed as though she was following him!!!! This made him really happy! A friend of ours, Dana Camp, had told us of his experience when he was in a coma for a month after a motorcycle wreck. Dana mentioned that as he began coming to, he said he was able to hear and know everything going on around him, he just wasn’t able to do anything about it, such as talk or move. Dana said he believes she is probably at that point now. So after talking to Matt, he says he is believing that this is where she is at this time, in that she is “in there” and knowing/hearing what is going on, she just is having a hard time doing anything to let people know she is “here.” Matt said her BUN level was still in the 60’s, so this is also going to cause her to remain very lethargic. Anyway, Matt keeps getting happier and Wendy keeps getting better!!! We will give more later as we get it. Have great weekend and may God bless you all for your support and comfort.
