I got back last night and am going back to Innsbruck on Thursday.
We have been able to see Chukka twice a day. She is getting more concious each time, but knew our voices (and could nod0 the first time. She asked (via writing, thank you to the nurse who thought of the paper and pen) for water -- whcih she cannot have at the moment. But we could wipe her face with a damp cloth, and the nurse brough a big bowl of ice with peppermint which is cooling and we could just do that for her.
The nurses -- 'sisters' they are called -- are all really lovely, to a man. It is some consolation to leave her in their capable, calm and caring hands.
We are sorting the practicalities, one at a time.
The support here is amazing, I hope Chukka will be able to hook into it sometime soon. For me, its great to know that there is a support network ready for a future phase as we are going through this hard early part.
Thank you.

Magda,
Thank you for sharing this information, to know she has had some response is delightful. To also know that the "sisters' are so caring is also comforting.
We all check this post multiple times a day in hopes of new or even trivial information. It feeds the masses so to speak.
Thank you and hopes a day in which we all can meet...
Love Pinemom
