During therapy yesterday Susan walked for the first time in about two months, using a walker to amble out of the therapy room, across the lobby and back. Her parents were there to share the joy. We're thankful she’s been making great progress physically and has continued to become more aware and alert. One of her therapists noted how much she’s been talking and described her speech as “word salad,” which is fitting since she easily combines images from her sensory menu into an idea she’s trying to express. She’ll probably benefit from some more speech therapy to help her thoughts become more grounded; but at least she’s talking and interacting.
The other afternoon Austin asked his mom if she was having a good day. Ever the sarcastic quipster, she said, “Oh yes, this morning I looked at the calendar and jumped for joy.”
