  This morning at 06:30AM, EST, I was amazed as the medical team has been slowly reducing the amount of medically induced paralysis in order to test for neurological responses in Talia, and she began responding after several hours.

  This morning, I was able to ask her if she could hear me and respond by blinking once, and she did after a 15 second pause. I asked if she was in pain and asked her to confirm by blinking twice, and she did not. I then asked if she was feeling painless and to blink once and she did blink again after 15 seconds.

  I spoke to her at length and her blinking became more frequent. It is a good sign although we have had setbacks like the need for insulin and more blood and also a previous skin graft now needs re-grafting. She is facing about six more operations for grafting and a few more for plastic surgery.

  I am trying to stay as positive as possible and avoid focusing on the negative setbacks.

  (((((UR)))) Man I wish I was there. I've had to deal with two arson fires from , likely, my psycho JW grandmother. I'm really good at taking care of fire damage. Alas, I live in CA. I like providence a lot, too.

  Hi Avishai:

  Thx alot. Actually, I do wish you lived closer because I could use some advice! I have no idea how to proceed as far as the cleanup process is concerned. If you have any ideas on what I can save, where to start, how to handle furniture issues, room repair, chemical treatments, etc. I would appreciate any expertise at all.

  Thx a million Avishai!

  I've been looking forward to your updates, UR. I feel a great deal of relief and excitement that your daughter is able to respond to your questions already. I'm sure it was difficult to blink, considering the medicine. But she was certainly conscious and communicating deliberately. Wow...!

  Still thinking of you and yours each day.

  God bless,

  I haven't been on line here for 24 hours or so and wondered many times how Talia was doing.

  What a relief to here that she can respond to your questions by blinking. That is a break through of sorts.

  I know the surgeries and mending will take some time. It's so good to know that you, her Dad, are by her side.

  Please keep us update has things progress.

  (((Hugs)))
