The Power of Love

Good evening everyone,

I have to share a story with you that happened today in my Mom's ICU room. Well, it was more of a little miracle in my mind!

Every couple hours the NSICU (NeuroScience Intensive Care Unit) Doctors and their teams make the rounds to complete a neuro exam on each patient and track their progress. As you know, my mom had a rough night and morning with little to no responsiveness to Doctors and nurses. When I met my Dad at the hospital today, I was able to watch Dr. Lee and his team evaluate my Mom. As we sat on the couch and watched - my heart was breaking, she couldn't do any of the commands the Doctor was asking her to do{such as lift two fingers or give a thumbs up}. Dr. Lee, Dad and myself were all very discouraged.

A few minutes later, Kelly walked in. She joined in our conversation with Dr. Lee and then leaned down to tell my Mom hello and that she was there with her now. As soon as Kelly started speaking to her, she moved her foot back and forth! Dr. Lee said "this almost brings me to tears, I have to go call Dr. Kim!" It was exactly what we needed. We know she can hear us, the power of family and the gift of love is truly a miracle!

Thank you, Mom!
