The auto correct in the iPhone has a mind of its own, and changes some
thought and words to totally different meaning and a times really
nasty words.

>From her mother, Vickie. This is REALLY good news!!
It was a great day today! Mallory actually responded to a command 3 out of
four times and this is coming from the PT people and not just her mom. The
PT held up a stuffed bat that was given as a gift. They told her to grab the
bat. It takes her several second to respond but she did it. I was shocked
This is the first time I have seen her respond to a command. Apparently, she
did it yesterday but I wasn't there. They came out and asked me "Did you see
that? I even had to ask my sister Patti if it was real. I cried. There has
been no way of knowing the extent of any brain damage until now and it is
not something we have really thought about because it was too scary. But she
is understanding and responding. A long way to go but what a wonderful
milestone. We are thrilled.
Now they are moving fast. They sat her up on the edge of the bed for about
45 minutes. With 3 of them, they stood her up for 2 minutes. Both PT and OT
gave us exercises to do 2-3 times a day. They had me do them. I was so
scared to hurt her, so I told them they had to reassure me that I can move
her now. After not being able to touch her, talk loud or stimulate her
because of brain pressure problems, this about face is hard to comprehend.
The good thing was I learned the foot exercises before I saw Mal move and I
learned them fine. Well after Mal moved, OT tried to teach the shoulder
exercises. I couldn't quite get them down. Such roller coaster emotions.
Luckily, Patti was there and helped me write them down and remember them.
Tonight, she actually did the shoulder exercises and I watched.
They will come back tomorrow and teach me again. The foot and leg exercises
we were able to do together. They are talking about moving her soon. She
will eventually go to the Tirr Rehabilitation Center. This is the best in
the country. this is where they brought Gabby Gifford, the politician, after
she got shot. Everybody told me to get her in there, it was the best, even
the guy in the bank when I was putting power of attorney on her account. I
told the doctor that's where I wanted her three nights ago when it was first
mentioned. He laughed, because I don't think he was expecting me to express
my preference so emphatically, but he said OK. Memorial Hermann, her
hospital, owns that facility. For a short time,the Tirr PT is working in
Memorial Hermann so it was Tirr employees who worked on her yesterday and
today. They know their stuff and said she needs to come over as soon as they
clear up the remaining medical problems. She also tracked her eyes in a
mirror and later when the chaplain came, she talked to Mal after talking to
me. She told her to blink two times and Mal did. Say those prayers of
thanksgiving. This was a glorious day.

My boss used to be a nurse, and when she moved to Houston, her first job there
was at TIRR! She said Mallory couldn't be going to a better place:)

me or Gill know. He is looking to get one soon.

Early Friday evening, I visited with Mallory's mom for about 2 minutes in
the waiting room.
I didn't get to see Mallory, but another caver was there earlier.
Mallory's dad will be with her this weekend.
Mallory's mom is hopeful they will move her out of ICU by Monday, but just
to a regular room until she gets transferred to the rehab center. That
could all happen sooner.
Mallory is not currently on any painkillers, or exotic meds.
Since her mom is posting details, I will let
her tell the rest of the good news

David,
Will you please steer clear of the Mallory situation? I'm asking you nicely.
This isn't about you. Please leave her family alone.

Another good milestone today! Mallory smiled at her caver friend nicknamed
"Puppy". Mal wakes up more after PT has been working with her about 15
minutes. They wanted to stand her but the 3rd therapist was tied up so they
enlisted Puppy to help. He was sitting by the bed and had to hold her knees
or thighs. When they sat her down, they wanted her to lift her head. So they
told her to lift her head and look at Puppy. They had to help her with her
head, but when she did she gave the biggest smile. We all saw it, even the
nurse who wasn't really participating in this event. It was so good to see
her smile.
I took a tour of Tirr Rehab hospital today. Mal has been approved by
insurance for Tirr. The patient liason has talked to me. Mal is scheduled to
go in next week as soon as medically approved. Her fever is gone. Lung X-ray
better. Still coughing but not as much. For those who are visiting, they are
moving her out of ICU into intermediate care as soon as a room opens up. So
you will need to find her new room. This was plannd early this morning and
when we left at 9 p.m., she was still in ICU. Slowly but surely.
