It's hard to believe that we've been here for 23 days now. Where does the time go? It's really flying by now. Probably when we approach Dec. 5th, it will slow down and start dragging along again. For now, I'm loving how fast it is going. The only problem is that I have to write in a journal here everyday just so I know what day and date it is.

Shawna is doing quite well. She's gaining some control over her head. Today she was following Faby's (OT) commands to "pick your head up" and "lower your head forward". After PT and OT, we have a slight break before TCM, so I get a chance to feed Shawna some pudding. Let me tell you, she's been wolfing it down! Today she finished the whole thing in 12 minutes! That's a record time for her.

Though we have settled into a routine here and time seems to be flying, we sure do miss home! It's hard to have half of the family here and the other half still back in PA. We miss you Marci and Angel!

Today we had another party ... seems to be the thing around here ... lol. We all gathered at the Cafe to say goodbye to Norman and Marlene. They will be leaving us on Wednesday to return home to Florida ... go Norm!

Well, Gary's snoring already and it's making me tired so I'm going to relax now and watch Shawna's tube feed drip [laughing].

God Bless,

Lorraine
