Merry Christmas!!
We finally got to see Morgan. When we walked in I first saw Isabella
and then Margo. Seriously the French government need to give them a
raise. They are so kind and sweet with Morgan. Her eyes are open much
more and she knows what is going on. I think this is one of the harder
days because watching her realize things makes her sad and breaks my
heart. We tell her about the accident
and you can tell she is sad. I don't know if she really gets it. She is
still heavily medicated but she acts like she is listening. She is
also in a lot of pain with her hip. They give her morphine which I
think confuses her more but then she is out. They are waiting for her
to swallow and then they will take the vent out. Hopefully tomorrow or
Thursday. I think once that thing is out of her mouth she will be much
happier. She is coming along. When they fly her to salt lake they
will take her right to IMC. She will have therapy I am sure for a while
and my guess is she will have hip surgery too. She also has a bone
that is broken in her left ear, so we will see what we need to do about
that. And also her collar bone. Baby steps I guess. Merry Christmas
to you all. Have a wonderful Christmas!
Christmas Day 12/25
Merry Christmas everyone!! Last night after leaving the hospital the
President Sinjoux came and picked us up for his family Christmas party
at the mission home. They get released the end of June and decided to
have there last Christmas there with their extended family. There were
probably about 50 of them. What a beautiful family. The kids are
darling and our checks were kissed more times then I can count:)
President Sinjoux and his nephew gave a spiritual thought and then they
sang my favorite Christmas song "Angels we have heard on high" I wanted
to ask them to sing it again but I didn't want to embarrass myself. We
then went to eat. Oh my, we just tried everything. We had mussels,
oysters (in the prettiest shells) duck, duck liver, veal, some form of
poi in coconut milk, and some other stuff. I say other stuff because
when I said "this is good, what is it!" And the response was duck liver,
I stopped asking. they
are so kind and so generous. I will take some of their Christmas
traditions and use them with our family. We got back to the hotel at
12:00...3:00am in Utah and then the kids were our wake up call. Troy
and I said, I bet grams and pops wake them up early. And they did!:) ha
ha. We were able to Facetime them while they opened gifts. We have
great kids. It was awesome to see their smiles and laughter. Thank you
momo, and pops!! I will never be able to tell you how much i am
grateful for you! Troy and I went back to bed and then went for a walk
and had our breakfast, pineapple cut open with a plastic spoon:) We
can't wait to get back to Morgan!! Ever second they let us be there we
are there. Merry Christmas!! We wish we were there but we will be soon.
I hope we get there and that vent is out. That would be a great
Christmas gift.
Email update from Marcie Taylor
We arrived at the hospital at 12:50 and people were already there to
see her. They come and they sing and she sleeps. She is much more calm
today. She isn't anymore alert then yesterday. But the nurses and
doctor said she has been up all morning moving around. She has her leg
in traction and has broke out of it five times this morning. While a
couple sisters were singing to her, she
broke free again and slept peacefully ever since. The nurse just came
in to take the probe off her brain. I guess that's the right lingo.
What that means is her pressure is doing so well there is no need to
monitor it anymore. And she saw the state of the traction and said in
her cute French voice "oh, Morgan"
Troy had a call from the transport team today. It surprised us a bit
because we didn't think they would be working on it until tomorrow
because of Christmas. So, the ball is rolling. That's all for now.
