OP here - thank you all. The virtual hugs are beautiful and are giving me smiles and strength. I sit next to her when she's in a deep sleep and tell her how many people in DC and even further afield are rooting for her.

I can't hug anyone and it's tearing me apart, but I can't risk catching any illness. DH is with her at the moment, but she's been the most awake she has been in a while before sleeping again now.

OP, I pray that this will be a deep, restorative sleep that she needs to fully recover. You've been through so much. I know you can't hug right now, but I promise you, those hugs of love, care, relief, support, and joy are coming. Your family, friends, and neighbors will give you all the hugs that this group of concerned strangers cannot. All will be well.

Hang in there OP. A lot of healing is waiting around for time to pass. It can be frustrating to let time do its thing, I am sure you just want to fast forward. You are your DH are showing up big time for your daughter. We are surrounding you from all sides.

New poster coming in to say you are such a good mom. She is such a brave fighter. Thinking of you and your family.

I just saw this thread now. Prayers going up for your daughter AND you as you support your baby. I've stayed with my son in the hospital, once for 9 days. I know it takes its toll. Sending prayers for health and strength.

OP here - thank you for the lovely posts, I've spent the night rotating with DH watching her and keeping a very close eye on her. She's started being more alert in the last couple of hours which is huge progress. I've been able to talk to with my daughter for the first time in days. I'm hopeful this improvement continues. It's so nice to not feel extremely anxious. She's a warrior and I'm so proud she's my little girl.

When we're through this if there is anything I can do to pay forward the love and caring in this chat please let me know. I'm indebted to your prayers and love for keeping me going. That little bit extra of support knowing that someone you've never met would care means a lot.

Along way to go but I'm so happy I can think about when she gets better instead of if.

OP, I am one of the people upthread who almost lost her daughter a couple years ago. Similar age. The best way to pay it forward I've found is to let this time be a lesson for how precious life is and how good people can be -- even on a site known for snarkiness, look at all the love that came out. And to see how you have acted in this time as inspiration and assurance of who you are. But there will be time for that later.

Really great she is alert. Sending you love. I'm not a doctor but hopefully the worst is over. Germ-free, virtual hugs to you and your kid.

Oh my goodness, thank you for keeping us updated, OP. I know it’s one more thing to do, but believe me when I say one of the first things I thought of this morning was to check on this thread and say extra prayers for your family. We cannot wait until she is home and you are all getting some time to rest together and enjoy each other’s company. I’m looking forward to seeing a post from you on Thanksgiving that she is doing great. Keep it up, OP, you’ve got this.
