Well, she didn't want to eat. My dad talked her into it though. She is still kinda non-responsive though... Please keep her in your prayers.
Oh no! I'm so sorry! I will definitely be praying for her!! Hang in there!

This is my mom's e-mail to everyone in our family tonight. I can't start typing for very long till I start crying. I asked her if I could just copy and paste, and she said it was fine so here:
Honeyma had a rough night last night. The nurses said that she was awake most of the
night, was real agitated, and she pulled her I.V. out. She slept most of the day today, and
was pretty much unresponsive to anyone. She slept through physical therapy range of
motion exercises, so they were unable to have her work on standing today like they had
planned to.
We were able to talk with the doctor today, and he said that her lungs have pretty much
cleared up, and that basically they have done all that they can do, and he recommend
her going to a rehab center for a few weeks, to work with a physical therapist to help get
her strength back so that she can stand up and maybe walk a bit like she was before.
A "Case Nurse" came in and talked to us about her discharge plans. She gave us a list
of rehab facilities and talked with us about what her insurance would cover, and what
options we have. We had planned on taking her home. Elysia, Chuck, and I talked about how
much we felt that we could handle, and decided that we would try, but then a problem
came up that is a major concern to us. Honeyma is not eating. What if we got her
home and could not get her to eat. She would end up right back in the hospital again.
We talked to Uncle Tim and Aunt Tess, and they said that we know Honeyma better than
anyone, and that whatever decision we made was fine. This is a very hard decision for
us to make. We are not giving up on Honeyma, and we have her best interests and well
being in mind. We feel that because she is not eating, it may be best for her to be in
a facility that can take care of that issue. When she gets to the point where she is
eating okay and gets some of her strength back, we will bring her home. In the meantime
we will be looking into some things about bringing her home sooner and getting someone
to come to the house daily to assess her and help with some of her needs. A very big part
of me feels like I would be letting her and maybe the family down by doing this, but please
know that I am not giving up on her in any way, this would be temporary until we find another
option that would be best for her. They are talking about discharging her within the next few
days, maybe even tomorrow. If any of you have any suggestions or any input, please let us
know. We want Honeyma home with us more than any thing.
Late this afternoon, Honeyma woke up and was pretty coherent and aware of what was
going on around her. I asked her if she would be willing to go to rehab to work on
getting stronger so that she could come home, and she said "Yes". I do not know if she
fully understood all that I was saying, though.
Please pray for Elysia. She is very mature, and has been very strong through all of this,
but today was very hard on her, and it is a very emotional time for her and for all of us.
Thank all of you for your prayers and your support. Let me know how you feel about
having her in rehab.
Love you all.

I wish I could make it all better, but I will pray for you since that's all I can do right now for your Honeyma Elysia.
I'm so sorry Elysia!!! I will be praying for you and your Honeyma. Hugs to you!

Well, today I'm sick, and my dad is a little, and Honeyma refuses to eat. I told her she needs to if she wants to come home, and she said 'i don't want to come home'. I asked if we took good care of her, and she said NO... I had it! I sobbed, and sobbed and sobbed, i know she didn't mean it, but It's hard to hear that, when you spent 10 years of your life living and breathing for THAT PERSON!
