Hi all, I know u are all anxiously waiting to hear an update so here it is.

After speaking with the doctors at Eden Medical they gave us some insight as to what we should expect over the next 6 months.

We are seeing little improvements everyday. Commands such as move your fingers and toes, give me a thumbs up, blink your eyes, and close your mouth. All are little things we have been practicing with her and she has been trying to reaped the best she can.

We exercise her everyday and she gets this little from on her face evetytime we do it, you know how she love her workouts.

We also massage her legs and and arms and she loves that too.

We read and play music, of course Katy Perry, because she loves it.

We have also started a journal so we can record all the things she is doing and all the visitors that come by.

We have also started using a sensory kit, with familiar sounds and smells for her to access the seep portion of the brain.

She has had a feeding tube (G tube) put in so she gets to eat.

She has also had a Trach put in so now her vocal chords won't get damaged... we all know how she lives to talk.

All in all, she is making huge progress and I am very hopeful for a full recovery.

I know that all of you would like updates as soon as something happens, however, I will only be posting once a week now, for we are in a waiting process and I will be returning to work. Please refrain from calling for updates to those that you know are close.

And remember, no news is good news.

Good day and God bless.
