slow news day

Not much to report on Cosima for the day. She hasn't had pain medication for 24 hours now and seems to be comfortable. When being asked if she wants any she has been turning it down. There is most likely still some pain medication in her system from previously so that may be helping a bit.

Her vital signs are all looking good, normally we have been able to tell by increased pulse and blood pressure when she is in pain, so this looks to be very good right now.

Zach is trying to figure out a way for her to write since she still isn't able to speak. Because her neck brace puts her neck in such a way that her eyes are more on the ceiling he hasn't figured out a solution yet. There are rumors of some type of a foam pen where those with casts can still write so he is looking into this.

Would love to have her be able to communicate more than just via a yes or no nod. She is mouthing words but so far no success in understanding what she is trying to say. After all this time she should have quite a bit to say when she is able to. Am sure if I hadn't spoken in almost 3 weeks everyone would be in dread of when I started to speak and it was all stored up. Everyone would be making a mad dash for the exit to escape. We will see how much she has to share when she can finally talk.

Hi Cosima,

Hang in there.

I am thinking of those beautiful peaceful days with flowers and a breeze that you love.
