Wednesday

We went and spent the day with Christie. We got there right at lunch and stayed until she was falling asleep talking to us. She had an excellent day. Her speech therapist said she said a full word today...not just a whisper...but an actual loud full word. We participated in her afternoon therapies with her. She worked really hard but started falling asleep on the bike so they let her go to bed. She was actually going like 43 RPM's but appeared sound asleep. Her blue toenails look lovely and she kept admiring them and said they looked awesome. I guess they will match her new wheelchair when it comes in! :) Christie also had a very mature conversation with us using her letter board. It was amazing to see her put together such deep thoughts. Also, when she was done with her first therapy and asked if she wanted to go back to her room, Christie typed on the computer...OK, you drive...to her therapist! :) Certainly has a sense of humor.

Glad to hear you got to spend lots of time with Christie. It helps when there is a positive influence around. Jackie has another movie to send for Christie, we'll get it to you this weekend. Thanks for keeping us updated on Christie's progress. I am so happy to hear she is starting to say some words.
