Day 3

The last visits of the day were actually quite eventful compared to the first. On our third visit, they had Stephanie sitting up, and she looked really good. The only problem was that they also had to suck out her trach while she was sitting up, and that looked to be a whole lot more uncomfortable than normal. Our last visit of he day was very good too. She woke up towards the end of it, when I was the only one in there and she was very alert. Even though the communication is tough, it's much better being with her when she is alert and we can at least give communicating a chance. We got several boxes today, one full of books for me, and one full of books for Stephanie. One set of books has words, the other just blank shapes waiting for color. I'll let you guess who gets which set. Though I will say it looks like Gordon managed to hide some his favorites from Chris. And Now I am going to try to catch a few winks because I am exhausted.

It is good to hear of progress and that you all still have a good sense of humor. Sleep is great for her and for you. Hope to see you both soon.

OK Fellas...MIL/Mom again.....Wahs has ot blogged yet but we saw Steph at 10AM and she was MUCH MORE ALERT - Hooray! They are moving her to a Respiratory therapy room today....we will all be glad for that - Warner then can be with her 24/7 and we will all be assured she is getting the attention she needs! Tough right now figuring out what she wants but Candy and I did pretty well at figuring out what she needed - when she is able to write life will be less frustrating for her.....on a lighter note, in my way "helping" I have been doing lots of laundry........it turns out I have been washing the clothes in fabric softener only!!!!!! Thank goodness Candy can read labels!!!!!! I decided that 1000 years ago people washed clothes in rivers with no soap so maybe these clothes are clean enough!!!!!!! SuSu at her best! Each day gets better her at OLOTL hospital - we all deserve a Tshirt after this! SKSB
