Mom had another great day! She knew exactly who me, Brent and Amelia were when we walked in to see her and when I said, we are gonna get you out of that chair and walking around....she replied "I think I can handle that, let's do it"! She tied her own tennis shoes and Brent and I walked her from her room up and down the hall. She was putting most of the weight on herself rather than on us....it was exciting. She read her poster board but when I stood in front of her and quizzed her she got a little confused. She also got confused when looking at the picture flashcards and when I asked her brother's name she said "Brent Barnet"? Ring any bells? No worries though bc when I asked her again she said, "Tony Michael". :) She also answers who is your favorite cousin as "Terri" with a smile. She ate a good lunch and circled a lot of words correctly in the word search. After lunch she passed out for a few hours.

This evening, she ate ALL of her dinner for Johnny and some powdered donuts too (she had been telling him she wanted something sweet). She read the poster a few times and tied her shoes for him too. He had her sort the playing cards again and she whipped through them. She even brushed her own teeth. They had good conversation. :) She is trucking right along isn't she? Thank you all for all the sweet encouraging words for us and for Mom. We love you all too and keep the prayers coming. GOOOOOOOOO GGGGAAAAAAYYYYYEEEE!!!!!!!
