When it rains, it pours...

    It has been just over a week since the accident and we are learning new things daily. Scilla is doing very well with her therapy, but the possibility of a collapsed lung and her blackouts are causing some concern for us. When I asked the nurse today about the blackouts/falling to sleep, she said it maybe contributed to the medicine she is taking for anxiety. Also causing concern for me is her slightly slurred speech and I am just hoping that these are all things that will improve with time and that are not permanent, but just small side effects of the accident that will improve as her health continues to improve.

Scilla requested that I come to the hospital today to talk to her about some things. ( I don't like R.C.P's look and I didnt like seeing her there and had many mixed emotions upon arriving and leaving) Once inside, we talked about Shakelle and how she was handling the situation and the toll the accident has taken on everyone emotionally and mentally. She told me that she would love to walk again and she believes that God does perform miracles, but he may not want her to walk again, which is ok, but for right now her goals are to
1. dress herself
2. shower by herself and
3. drive again

    Today her rehabilitation doctor and therapists had a conference about her and concluded that she will need around the clock care, I am not yet sure what led them to come to this conclusion, but we still hope that she will be able to have her independence again someday.

     The last update is that she expressed to me she would like to live with my mother, which is going to be something very hard to accomplish. We are hoping and praying and trying to put our heads together to see how to make this happen. My mom's current home does not even come close to being
      1. Wheelchair or handicap accessible or
      2.  Large enough to house my sister's family and my mom and sister (Angelic)

      Beside accessibilty factors and home size, financially my family does not have the means to provide the home that she will need. I know that with God all things are possible and I am praying that we can somehow raise the money or get someone to donate a handicap/wheelchair accessible home for them. I have a pretty nice size property in the back of my house and as an option to cut down on cost, I am willing to let them build in my backyard ( SN: I guess it is good that I haven't had the pool I have always wanted, put in yet).

    After everything I have had to digest today, she did give me a reason to smile and laugh by saying she was not going to be rolling (picture her moving her arms in a circular motion as in turning the wheels of a wheelchair) but she was going to get her an electric chair so she can ride her babies around...lmao. So I told her when she gets her chair I would buy her this shirt :

Walking in Faith...
