The most recent CT scan showed nothing new. After the CT scan this morning, Liesl returned to her room and shortly thereafter, her left eye (the reactive one) returned to the condition is had been in all week (i.e, the dilation was not so great). Also, she stopped twitching so much. The doctors elevated her legs and she seems to be more comfortable.
Leigh reports that she looks peaceful and calm. He is letting her rest but will speak to hospital staff late tonight. If there are any changes, we'll post here again. If not, we'll post tomorrow.
I need to make a correction to the explanation of the Glasgow scale used to rate coma patients. Each of the three areas (eyes, verbal, motor) does not get equal weight. Eyes get 4 points, verbal gets 5 points, and motor skills get 6 points. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasgow_Coma_Scale for more information.

Leisl, I have started to write on this blog several times, but the words weren't there. I spent almost 1 1/2 weeks in Memphis. Seeing the people there who love you and are praying for you has been an experience I will remember for a long time. The comments on this blog are overwhelming. The emails and the phone calls are equally heartwarming. I imagine your cell phone and email box on your computer are full also. You are so fortunate to be so loved.
Come back to us!!!
Love G'ma
