Mom was really alert when Brent, Amelia and I came by to see her. I asked her if she slept well last night and she replied, "Yes I did....I slept my ass off"! LOL. When she first saw Amelia she said, "Is that one of ours or one of theirs"? lol Then after I said it was Amelia I think something clicked bc she said, "Amelia, what are you doing baby girl". Which is exactly what she would have said to her on any given day. She even reached out for her. I asked her how old Amelia was and she said 2 (which 20 months is close enough). Mom keeps trying to get out of eating....but we are consistent with her on insisting and staying on her since she has lost weight (and she was tiny to begin with). Her sister Co came in for the day to hang and visit with her :) which I am sure helped Mom tremendously to see and talk to familiar faces during this brain healing process and I am sure it helped Co to see Mom doing better than last time she came down and to see the facility. She said Mom is still not making sense with some things she says but is getting better.
Physical, Occupational and Speech therapy all start next week....it is Monday-Friday.
