Today Zoe's morphine drip was lowered just a smidgen, but it seemed to be enough to bring her out of her stupor.
It wasn't apparent until the music therapist came by and played and sang for Zoe. She went from being still and staring, to active and engaged and even participatory (see the latest vid on the YouTube link). It seemed to put her on a happy trajectory; she's been talkative and playful most of the day since then.
Does my heart so much good!
Which leads me to ask--is there anyone in our Seattle area that can play the guitar, or other portable instrument, and come sing and/or play for Zoe? It seems to be just the best possible medicine for her mind and mood, and the music therapist can only really come once a week. You'd have to be absolutely cold and flu-free and be able to sing through a mask.
Let us know--we'd be so grateful!

Thank you so much for sharing, it put a giant smile on all of our faces! We love you guys!
Shoshana (our 3-year old daughter) has been following Zoe's story closely. She asks about her every day. She wants to say hello and send her big hugs. If we were in Seattle, she would definitely come and sing to Zoe.
Let me know if you're still looking for some live music. I have a couple people in mind. Gary can give you my contact information.
