The Winds of Change
While the full effects of the Zolpidem don’t kick in all at once, Dr. Nel and the family members present begin to see small changes almost 20 minutes after the crushed Zolpidem was administered. Though it was not a full response, the doctor was able to identify signs of relaxation in Dianne as he began to do some light stretching with her arm. At this moment, Dianne’s daughter, Tracy, began speaking to her excitedly as she saw a ray of hope.
Another Improvement
With the relaxation observation out of the way, Dr. Nel began to look for other signs of progression. The one that he identified next was in Dianne’s vision. Until now, even with her eyes open, Dianne didn’t seem to be able to exercise much control over their direction or focus. The doctor observed that her eyes showed signs that she was able to narrow her focus after the course of treatment was administered. Tracy took full advantage of this as she stared into her mother’s eyes.
