Growing up!

Katy greets me in the morning, eats three meals a day, raises and lowers her hospital bed, watches some Adventure Time that Paige was so wonderful to loan her, laughs a lot and talks up a storm. It is really awesome to have nurses or doctors come in who have not seen her for a week, or even a few days, who marvel at the differences. 

However, we still have a long road ahead of us. She gets confused about things, like dressing herself and what she just ate, what she asked about the day before, and some day to day things that get you through life. Looking back on her progression, it's very much like she was starting over; it's like she is going through her first years of life again and learning the very same things, just much faster. Right now she is like a 12- or 13-year-old, without the crankiness.

I do hope and pray that she continues to gain all of her consciousness. School is only several weeks away and even though she is improving so quickly, it's hard to see her getting to that independence she would need. They have been wonderfully though, and we don't have to make a decision until the very end of summer.

This morning she asked me if I would check her Facebook so I will be reading to her all of the posts that everybody has sent since this happened. Thank you for sending them. She will be thrilled. I am sure we will have to do it daily because her short term memory is not all there yet but that's okay!
