Tuesday, October 7th: One month ago today tradgedy struck our little family group. This time last month, I was crying so hard, praying that my little girl would keep fighting and get through this tough time. One month on and MJ is dressing herself (with a little assistance), laughing, trying to feed herself, drinking thickend water and sits in a wheelchair.
I showed Mic the photo's of herself in ICU. She grabbed the phone out of my hand and started to scroll through the pictures. She seemed quite intrigued with how she looked and I don't think she could associate the pictures as being her.
Mic got her wheelchair today, but is only allowed to be in it for short periods of time. So, taking full opportunity of the moment, I took her for a spin around the ward. I showed her where she'd been living for the past month. It felt, for me, just one step closer to being able to bring her home. The challenges that lay ahead with possibly adapting our house around Mic are minor in comparison.
I started to feed Mic and she took the spoon out of my hand. Twice I filled it with yoghurt for her and twice she placed it in her mouth, with the proper co-ordination. She almost finished the pot too! The SLT's were going to try her on some Quavers and possibly mash. I can't wait to get there tomorrow to find out how she did with it.
Ash and Sam gave MJ some Spongebob hair clips at the weekend. Today she rearranged them in her hair. She had some difficulty in closing them, but I think that's more because they are new than anything else.
Wow! She's doing amazingly well, and I am so proud of her.
