Well, not sure I want to update this, in case I spook it, but was told earlier that there is no reason she wont make a full recovery.
She is still in Intensive Intensive care, (they have 2 levels), but doing all the right things they would expect at this stage, even some physio ffs!
Breathed on her own for a bit, (she got tired, or knowing Nikki, bored), off sedation, can communicate a bit, and a bit of delerium/paranoia. (No, I didnt know it was a medical condition neither).
From this on NYE. Astonished, grateful, delighted, hopeful, and not gonna lie, very humbled by the support from everyone on here, and increasingly, (jungle drums, y'know), the real world.
There will be more challenges to overcome, no doubt, but reckon Nikki has a fighters chance to do so.
