Day 103 - Monday March 26, 2012

We were supposed to go to the low vision clinic today but we woke up to strong winds and rain.  I thought about the drive to Salt Lake, and the fact that the wind would make the drive even worse as far as carsickness and so I called Kasey and rescheduled for Wednesday.  Bridgett slept in late.  When she woke up she said my name was mom but that I was somebody else's mom, not hers.  This upset Stephany and she kept trying to explain that since they were sisters and I was Steph's mom that I was her mom, but Bridgett wouldn't believe it.  Steph even showed her pictures of Bridgett and I together and she didn't believe it.  We went to Jenn's and Jenn verified that I was indeed the mother of all of the kids and Bridgett finally agreed.  We had some lunch with Jenn and the boys.  Bridgett declined salmon, although she usually likes it.  She had some rice and then took a short nap.  Steph stayed and spent some time with Jenn and I brought Bridgett home.  Shortly Tyler returned from drill in Billings.  He was exhausted and after a short visit with Bridgett he took a nap.  Arrianne picked up Steph after class and they both came home.  Arrianne stayed with Bridgett and they rested while I went to the store and the bank with Stephany. Later on things were much more mellow and we all sat around and listened to stories from drill, which are always interesting!  Bridgett had already eaten about what she usually does in a day when suddenly she said that she wanted to go and get a fire thing.  We tried to guess what that was and finally she said a hamburger.  She wanted to get a hamburger from Sonic so we drove out and she ate about 3/4 of it.  Everyone is anxious to get back to Montana and actually tonight Bridgett asked me when we are going home to Montana.  She said that it sounds fun.  We have doctors appointments through the first week in May as well as therapy appointments until the middle of May.  We were hoping to leave here by that first week of May but as the time gets closer we will have to decide what to do in light of the therapy situation.  Of course, we never imaged that she would miss almost four weeks of therapy before we even got home.  Once we get home then things are all messed up regarding the insurance and in network providers.  We were hoping that she would be doing good and just need a few therapy sessions once we got home.  It's hard to make any definite decisions any farther out than about two weeks or so because we don't know what will be happening by then.  But, at least things are headed in the right direction and that's the important thing!  Bridgett headed to bed about 9:30.  Tomorrow we have therapy in Provo, our first actual therapy sessions.  I am excited for Bridgett to get started back to therapy!
