Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

"What's going on? Is he still the same as yesterday?"

Caroline glanced at Sherilyn, "Maybe you're just exhausted from taking care of Gilbert, Sherilyn. Did you see it wrong? Or maybe, you said it just to cheer Grandma up?" Hearing this, Sylvia's expression darkened, "Sherilyn, is that true?"

"No." Sherilyn shook her head in denial, giving Caroline an exasperated look, "I wasn't the only one who saw it; the nurse did too." "Yes."

The nurse raised her hand slightly, nodding and speaking softly, "Sylvia, I was there. I saw it too. Mr. Gilbert indeed moved." "What about now..."

"Sylvia."

The door to the hospital room opened, and the head doctor came in, "You're here. I was away for a moment, sorry about that." "It's alright." Sylvia hurriedly said, "Please, tell us about Gilbert's condition."

"Sure."

The doctor shared, "I've just examined Mr. Gilbert, and his limbs have shown voluntary movement."

"What does that mean?"

"It means, you can relax, Mr. Gilbert isn't in a vegetative coma."

Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief, "That's wonderful."

But her concern remained, "When will he wake up?"

"Sylvia, I can't guarantee that, but Mr. Gilbert is indeed improving. What he needs is more patience and companionship from his family." "Alright."
