    what a trooper Darian is, she is so strong and strong minded. She has taken all of this in stride, yes there have been some moments where she can't handle it but those are few and far between. It's so hard to just sit and watch and not be able to do anything for someone you love. She makes that easier though, she is able to stand up on her own for very short steps but just to say she is able to walk again is a flat out miracle. Just an amazing story and hard to put into words


    I've been hesitant to put pics of her on here, especially while she's in the hospital bed, but I'm so proud of her (sorry some of these are blurry, her mom's phone is ancient). We celebrated her 25th birthday last tuesday and she was overwhelmed with how many people have cared for her

    her mom's uplifting post:

    Wow, I avoided this thread after reading the OP because I just didn't want the heartbreak, it was hard enough reading BlazingRebel's. I can't believe what happened here, just amazing. Sterling, how is her cognition now? She obviously knows who she is, who you are, does she remember what happened recently before the transplant?

    thank you guys. A lot.

    I've said this multiple times itt, but its very hard to put into words exactly how to explain the emotions and feelings I've gone through (and more importantly she has gone through) these last 70 days. She is a true inspiration. Just a few weeks ago we all thought we were going to lose her and we're actually told those words by very high up doctors. Pile Driving Miss Daisy asked about her cognition level, well that's a great question. I knew hardly anything about being in a coma 3 months ago, but apparently when you go into a coma for more than 3-4 days everyone's experience is different (which is pretty obvious). Darian the first couple of days she was conscious didn't know where she was, what was happening, why she was there, etc... it was like 50 first dates I had to keep repeating what was happening to her, which was very hard cause I had to let her know how serious and life threatening what she is/was going through and she broke down many times.

    She doesn't remember me driving her to the hospital on a sunday afternoon after she fainted going down our stairs, her last memory before all this happened was the Friday before sitting on our couch watching a movie. Which to me seems like 2 years ago at this point. This has probably taken years off my life stressing out for hours on end and asking "why her" many times.

    Its just hard to process all of this is what im trying to say without succeeding. I appreciate all of your messages though. Doctors told us on Monday that she could be here in tampa at least another month and that's if everything goes perfectly. Puts a hell of a lot of things in perspective about all aspects of your life
