Several of you have asked about rating Liesl's coma on the Glasgow Scale, so Leigh asked the doctor yesterday about this. The scale goes from 3 to 15, with 3 being the lowest score. Note, you cannot get a "0", and a fully-functioning person would get a 15. It is broken into three ratings, each with a scale from 1 to 5. The areas are Auditory, Visual, and Motor Skills.
Liesl has a 1 on auditory and visual scales, and a 3 on motor skills, for a total of 5. She probably came to the hospital after the crash with a 3 or 4 total score.
This morning, Liesl's left eye is still reactive, but it is dilated. Also, she is twitching a bit. The doctor says there is no cause for concern but they did just take her for a cat scan about 15 minutes ago. S0 we are awaiting those results.
We continue to be full of gratitude for all of the prayers and other support that has poured in over these two weeks. Please don't stop those prayers now, as we need them as much as ever.

I continue to pray fervently for Liesl and the family as well as Oscar and his loved ones. I am grateful that He provides medical professionals who are fearlessly caring for Liesl around the clock. Today at mass healing for her and all of us who love the Becker family was at the forefront of my prayers. Love of and confidence in the God of Mercy prefaces my prayers for her and all of us.
Blessings, Patti
