I just watched a beautiful 7 year old boy die in the room next to Ryan's, got hit by a car, pronounced brain dead after a few minutes. He's on life support so his family can donate his organs.
I'm Praying for his family to get through this and retain their good memories of a beautiful life lived with joy and exuberance. I spoke to his daddy briefly, they seem like nice people.
Another one yesterday was a 14 year old girl that shot herself in the head over a boy friend. She may or may not make it.
It seems so surreal to leave here and watch this city of 4 million people just keep right on moving along in the midst of all this. Like an inexorable steam roller with a life of its own.
Life flight seems to be landing here at Children's Memorial Herman every 20-30 minutes.
I don't feel so sorry for myself anymore.
In the last two days she is getting so that she will do this for anyone without the "deep" stimulation...Squeezing your hand, Really hard, when you talk to her, and if I'm not fooling myself she made tears when I talked to her...if I am fooling myself it's a hope that I'll keep anyway.
She is also blinking her eyelids, one more than the other, if you bother her eyes, these sound like little things but are way beyond what we were getting before, she is grimacing her mouth as well.....
Also moving her arms around alot....
