Update 11/19/2012 By Michelle

Every doctor that has come in today has shared good news. My mom's blood pressure is a lot more stable than expected with her level of injury. Her iron level has almost doubled. Her red blood cell count continues to go up. Today in most of her therapies they focused on stretching her jaw. It gets so locked up and causes her pain. She opened it wider today than she could yesterday. Every day she takes baby steps in the right direction. Her body is getting stronger. Twice now I have seen her shift her mid section in bed on her own. She was doing this in San Antonio, but stopped all movement when she got a high fever. The best news of all is that it appears there is no brain damage, just the spinal cord injury. This is a huge miracle considering the severity of her accident.
