Two weeks. That’s how long it took Dee to finally wake up on her own. The swelling on her brain had gone down within a few days, yet it took her two weeks to come back to me. I stayed by her side the whole time. Even with our parents and Sandra coming in and out, I never left. My work, shower, and sleep were done by her bedside, not wanting to miss the moment she woke up.
I can’t tell you how happy I was when she woke up and even happier that my name was the first to come out of her mouth. I didn’t even care that our parents were in the room when I rushed to have her in my arms. It took another week before she was allowed to return to her normal routines. They should have given her more time, especially when she chose running as her first activity.
I’ve been joining her on
