Morning Update #2

What a difference one night can make! Kelly just called with an update of this morning's events. It was good to talk to him. After talking to Judy I was a little bummed that Deb's progression had slowed. (They switched off early this morning- so Judy was reporting on Deb as of last night.)

Deb had a busy morning. After a walk she was able to have her first real shower. Kelly said it was an emotional uplift for Debbie. She was able to wash the blood from her ears and hair. She also stood alone and brushed her teeth! Following all that, she ate breakfast. Kelly broke her toast into small pieces. She was able to eat it all and keep it down. She also had some orange juice and a little yogurt. Great accomplishments!!!

I remembered to ask about the air pockets in her head this morning. Kelly says as far he knows they are all gone. Good news! The right side of her head suffered the most severe damage in the accident. Consequently, she still has some vision, hearing and numbness trouble on the right side. Her arms and legs have good feeling and work well. Over the last few days, Debbie has had significant improvement in her walking and speaking abilities.

She has a test this morning with Rehab. They will test her emotional and physical levels. We hope she continues to have a great day!

  3. I talked to Mom this morning and felt the same way Jamie so it was fun to see some more positive news, Thanks!
    Jason is doing great! Maddie took the boys swimming yesterday and they had lots of fun. We all laughed last night, Karlie has been giving Jason a bad time,calling him Jason Wrong instead of Wright; Jason has been giving her smack right back. Well last night Karlie made homemade rootbeer and Jason complimented her on how good it was and Karle said, "Wow Jason, I think your finally Jason Wright again!" Jason then replied that he had always been "Wright" she was "Walker Wrong!"
    JoAnna stopped by and expressed their concern, we are all routing for you and you are in everyone's prayers. Take Care

    Great to hear about the improvements. We know that prayers are answered. No way to explain your improving health -- and your listening to the doctors and those who love you. We are grateful for you. Hang in there. We sure wish we could speed up time to get you home.

    Love
