Not sure how well he could hear her, but she responded to him several times. She was very relieved to find out he was OK. She was totally coherent this morning, and asked a lot of questions. She was relieved to find out that she was not crazy, as she put it. Apparently, she thought that she had lost her mind. We told her she would recover completely, but when I left the room for a little while, she told Caleb she needed to heal, and that she knew that I was not telling the truth when I said she'd fully recover in a few months. It was a pleasure being around her most of the day. Then, late in the afternoon, she became highly agitated and very upset. We wheeled her up and down the hall to try to calm her down, but she wasn't having any of it. She kept asking for help, and asking Why? over and over. At one point, when she kept saying help, Caleb said to her, I'm helping as much as I can. She turned to him and said, I know, Caleb, but you're not helping much. A few minutes later, she was asking Why? over and over, and after a few minutes of Why, Why, Why, I told her, So that when it's over, we can appreciate how good things are. She looked me in the eye and said, Well, that sucks. It was hard not to laugh. She calmed down after that, and when we left she was in her bed and doing well. She has improved tremendously just in the last 24 hours. If she keeps things up at this rate, and someone wants to call it a miracle, I won't argue the point. When we first arrived, we'd have to lean in to her to hear what she was saying. By afternoon, her voice was strong enough for both of us to hear her from normal distance. We were also told that during her OT session, she walked while pushing (and holding on to) a shopping cart. Yesterday, she could only walk with a therapist under each arm (she moved her legs, but they did the actual walking). Yes, today was a good day. Steve Vickie took a break today and stayed home and handled paperwork. She came in late this afternoon and can verify that we're not making this up. -- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com __._,_.___ Reply via web posthttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/greater_houston_grotto/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJxNGNrdjNnBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzMzMTI3NTAEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MTI1NDA1BG1zZ0lkAzEyMjc4BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3JwbHkEc3RpbWUDMTM3NjIyOTQzMA--?act=replymessageNum=12278 Reply to sender cavera...@aol.com?subject=Re%3A%20%5BTexascavers%5D%20Mallory%20report%2C%208%2F10%2F13 Reply to group greater_houston_gro...@yahoogroups.com?subject=Re%3A%20%5BTexascavers%5D%20Mallory%20report%2C%208%2F10%2F13 Start a New Topichttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/greater_houston_grotto/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJlcW83Z3A2BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzMzMTI3NTAEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MTI1NDA1BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA250cGMEc3RpbWUDMTM3NjIyOTQzMA-- Messages in this topichttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/greater_houston_grotto/message/12277;_ylc=X3oDMTM2NTVqOTdlBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzMzMTI3NTAEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MTI1NDA1BG1zZ0lkAzEyMjc4BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3Z0cGMEc3RpbWUDMTM3NjIyOTQzMAR0cGNJZAMxMjI3Nw--(2) Recent Activity: Visit Your Grouphttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/greater_houston_grotto;_ylc=X3oDMTJlN2NhOGhsBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzMzMTI3NTAEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MTI1NDA1BHNlYwN2dGwEc2xrA3ZnaHAEc3RpbWUDMTM3NjIyOTQzMA-- [image: Yahoo!
