Nothing new to report...

This entry was inspired by Saori. She has made a comment, "Please please let us know if we could do anything to help." Very nice thought....a lot of friends and family have made the same comments via phone, email or my blog.

Honestly, there isn't anything anyone can do for Aya's family at the moment. For our family (Aya, JT and I) my parents are helping out by watching JT whenever I end up going to the hospital to support Aya.

For the most part, we meet with the surgeon or various doctors. We see the speech and physical therapist and we talk to the nurses. Outside that we spend a lot of time in ICU just waiting for Aya's mom to open her eyes...check her progress...and see if she is going to speak or move. Basically just looking for some sort of sign of improvement.

I can understand why people call and want to the know the status but at times it is very annoying and stressful For each person that calls Aya, she has to basically tell them the story and that makes it hard for her because she has to relive it. Maybe because it is Aya's mom, more people call Aya than her brother. Maybe because Aya lives in So. Cal and her brother is in Seattle people call Aya. I don't know. All I know is that we can't take calls in ICU...we have really poor cell phone reception in the hosptial itself. People have no problems calling EVERY day for an update even though we say we won't know anything for the next week!

Yes I know people are concerned and want to see her, but the simple fact is ICU is limited to 2 people at a time. She is in no condition to see visitors. My mother inlaw is aware mentally so we don't want people coming and crying or being sad when this is a time to be positive and strong.

Tomorrow (Monday) we find out if Aya's mom will have another surgery. Odds are high she will but we don't know which procedure they will opt for. Thus, we have no news, we don't know what the outcome will be...but whichever it is there will be at least a 1-2 day recovery so again we will have no news. Hopefully people will stop calling...while it is very nice people have Aya's mom in their thoughts and prayers there is just no need to call everyday.
