I think Dr. Dorsen must be reading the blog because today he came through with some good news. (Oh, okay\u2026 he\u2019s had some before too\u2026) When he heard that Chloe had mouthed the words back to Dana he was VERY ENCOURAGED, as this has to do with the sub cranial nerve #7, which is the facial nerve and has four components with distinct functions. It\u2019s an easy Google search if you\u2019d like to take a look. This link has a pretty easy to understand function of this nerve and is, again, very encouraging to me as well. http:\/\/www.med.yale.edu\/caim\/cnerves\/cn7\/cn7_1.html <\/p>\n
Chloe has been in good spirits today and has been smiling quite a bit with her nurse Linda. Linda even found the right combination to get Chloe to wear the support boots she needs while staying in bed so long. They were driving Chloe nuts the first time we had them on her. They now fit right.<\/p>\n
Dr. Larry Sherman, a personal family friend and Captain on the Chloe Team, has been all over this case from afar. He is a \u201cbrain guy\u201d and was emailing Dana throughout the night with information and offers of answers if she or the rest of us need them. This is most helpful. It\u2019s always good to have an outside set of qualified eyes and thoughts following us.<\/p>\n
Speaking of which, Dr. Peter Scott shows up ALL THE TIME for Chloe. Even when we were at the radiology department waiting to get tube place, there was Dr. Scott, watching over us. Thanks so much Peter! It means so much.<\/p>\n
Chloe\u2019s classroom cards have come in and she will get to see and hear them through the weekend. This is huge. Having her spirits high is going to speed her healing. We have very high obstacles in our way and anything we can get to help clear them we are going to accept. This is ALL ABOUT CHLOE and we are very clear about that. <\/p>\n
Heather wrote a very sweet email to us as she walked on the beach Chloe so loves. She called it Chloe\u2019s Beach, and so it is from now on. Dana recalled the visit we had there on the last weekend of November. She sees Chloe flying her dragon kite and running after Ivey, who had to go say hi to everyone she saw. She also, as I do, sees Chloe doing all that and more, over and over again, until she\u2019s too old to run. <\/p>\n
We not only can, but we Will Do This, and you all are a part of the process.<\/p>\n
Blessings,
