Small update.

Her physical recovery is doing very well: she can slowly walk up and down stairs with good balance for instance. So, they are going to discharge her (late next week) to live at home while we will then take her to daily therapy sessions at a nearby hospital. Her thinking is still very clouded, so part of her activity at home will be to do ABC's and 123's with our 3-year-old, play games like patty-cake with the 1 year old, and so on. I keep asking about what they think her long-term prognosis is and they still have to reply that they don't know. They might know more in six-months, they say.

Thankfully, I'm getting some help from my mom (for the next 3 weeks), Heather's sister (part-time help in the week), and others that can help in small amounts.

Thanks again to all of you who helped. You made it possible for me to stand up in a meeting with Heather's doctors and specialists today and say that I wanted Heather to have therapy even if it wasn't covered by insurance. Thanks to all of you who prayed, because Heather is physically recovering faster than they expected.
