Five Months since Jan 4th

Dear Family,

Physiatrist has evaluated Miriam and recommended continuation of her physical therapy and occupational therapy. PTL.This is an answer to our prayers!   He also recommended Botox injections of her calf muscles towards the end of the month. Miriam had a visit from a local Acupuncturist. He evaluated her and treated her once with acupuncture and recommended some trial herbal medicine for one week. I will start her this weekend so I can observe her. I do not know how these herbs will interact with her neuropharmacological stimulants. Pray for no untoward side effects and above all pray for functional recovery.

Miriam has been more wakeful. When she is not sleeping, her right eye is usually wide open and the left eye would open slightly. She would look at me and her visitors. She definitely tracks but remains unable to follow commands. I personally think that she is improving but they are clearly baby steps.  Her vital signs have been stable and that is good.

Please do not give up praying for her.

In His Time,

Dad/Alex
