We got wonderful news this morning. Ann's husband (Dan) called to tell us that Ann is recognizing people. She recognized him and all three daughters. Further, she is following simple commands to wiggle her toes, open her mouth, etc. Dan also told her that during her time in ICU he's been cleaning the cat box every other day and her response was a shocked looked. So, we are thinking she not only recognized her husband and daughters, but understood what he was saying to her.
The hospital is considering transferring her to a specialty rehab facility where she will get PT, OT, and weaned from the vent. Apparently, she probably is always going to have to be on oxygen at night.
Dan has given Joel permission to visit her later this week which I believe is incredibly important for her recovery. I know that Ann wants to see her siblings! Hopefully, permission will be forthcoming for her remaining siblings.
