Hi sisters --

I sometimes visit other forums here, and yesterday I came across a post called "Chemo Gone Terribly Wrong", and I remember this post from this forum so I thought I would share with all of you a response from the daughter. I don't find her post from the bc forum, but I am praying it is the same person "Sasha14"? Anyhow, it looks like her mama is doing better!

Here it is:

After spending 21 days in the ICU, something of a miracle occurred on Friday, July 22. We received a call at 8am from the hospital ICU nurse saying that mom was asking for her family. Since mom has been in a medical induced coma for over 20 days and was basically non-responsive up until that phone call, we rushed to the hospital to find her sitting up and mouthing responses to the drs and nurses. She is trached so she is not vocal but we are very good lip readers. It was as if a light switch was flipped on overnight. She was discharged to a long term acute care facility on Friday afternoon in order to continue her longer term rehabilitation. She has a long road ahead of her but we are beyond overjoyed at the sheer fight and determination this woman has within her. We are prepared for many ups and downs on her long road to recovery however since she continues to ask for 'margaritas', we know she is taking on the charge full-steam ahead. Again, thank you for your response. We have been grabbing at straws for the past 20+ days and we're just so thankful for all of the support we've received. Words really cannot express our most heartfelt gratitude and appreciation.
