Cloud Nine

I am so happy.  Eva woke up tonight just before the football game ended - it really wasn't a game - but anyway, she stayed awake for quite some time.  So the nurse and I were chatting for a while and Eva stuck her tongue out at me saying that she was thirsty.  So, the nurse got her some applewater and she finished the whole thing!  Then after another hour she was allowed to have apple sauce.  She ate the whole thing!  She was staying awake and sitting up at that.  I don't want to sound premature but I want to believe that things are starting to make a turn for the better.  :)
