Day 32 - Sunday January 15, 2012

Yesterday Jenn came up to visit and Arrianne and Stephany were here too.  I stood Bridgett up to put her in bed and she gave me a great big hug.  Then Jenn said I want one too.  Bridgett gave her a great big hug and a tear ran down her eye.  She misses Jenn!  She gave Arri and Steph a great big hug too.  She was so happy and smiling all day to have her sisters with her.  They primped and pampered her and they all had lots of fun.  Today was another very good day.  A young couple met us in Bridgett's room to bless and pass the sacrament.  I told them that Bridgett can't eat anything that isn't pureed yet.  They said that she can just touch the bread to her lips and it's the same thing (they have been instructed).  Arri and Steph painted Bridgett's fingernails and toenails.  Bridgett has been mouthing lots of words, which will make the speech therapist very happy.  She also wants to write things, but I left the white board at the hotel.  Since it's Sunday, there are no therapists here so I couldn't get one from them.  Bridgett is singing lots of songs.  Also, she and Arrianne and Stephany have been doing hand games--Say Say Oh Playmate, I Went To A Chinese Restaurant and Zing Zing Zing.  Bridgett remembered all the hand gestures and it was so cute and touching to see them "playing" together.  We showed one of the nurses and she said it made her almost cry.  She was very touched to see how close the girls are.  I took Bridgett in the wheelchair for a ride in the hallways before breakfast.  Later on I got her in the wheelchair and met Arrianne and Stephany downstairs.  It was nice for her to get out and ride around a little.  Part of the time she was pushing the wheels herself and deciding where to go.  All in all it has been a day of lots of girl time, lots of laughing and lots of fun.
