We love to sparkle....
Fourth of July, eh.... I never liked the holiday celebration; when I was a child very afraid of fireworks and hated picnics with bugs. Scary stuff. But sparklers seem to be safe??? And just like sparklers they are exciting when they are lit “do their thing”, but fizzle out quickly.
The last 2 days have been like that for Melissa. She had a great afternoon with her Sister trying to communicate, also calling a couple of good friends on the phone. Is this the awakening time and steady progress up her recovery ascent. No. The body and brain had to much stimulation and it must rest. Rest/recovery is paramount. If she does have a very lucid time period/day, we as loved ones need to remember that this may be too much for her to process. Encourage rest, be at peace and “breathe” both in physical and also the soul. “Worry for nothing.” There isn’t anything she needs to be bothered with WE have it covered. Now having said that, it is a tough concept for one to embrace who is a “giver”. This will be her biggest challenge; to let someone take the lead in planning, providing and caring.
So as Melissa continues to rest and battle, these are the things WE need to focus on in our prayers and meditations. Defeat the fever that is on and off, and any bacteria that might be causing these symptoms. BREATHE gradually without assistance with the machine. Let’s pray for weening the machine assist and with positive progression go to none. Have a mental awareness and presence in order to assist her Care Giving Team in their assessments and treatments. Keep the Doctors and Nurses in your prayers/thoughts so that they make sound decisions grounded in their experience and knowledge. Finally, get the body motor skills activated so when it is time to get up and walk, use her arms and hands, she can do it with perfection. Focus on these things. ( WOW what a Fran’s Liszt, as I would say to Melissa. We subscribe/support WQXR)
*people don’t worry about me, I have a new distraction to help me pass time. The Tour de France started today; I am on it, but Melissa is my main focus.
She is my patrone, wearing the maillot jaune
