Day 110 - Monday April 3, 2012

A week from today will be Bridgett's birthday and she will be 22.  So, of course the month changes and she has to remember that, and the year changed while she was in a coma and she's trying to remember that--now her age will change!  We are not sure what we will do to celebrate, but we are trying to make plans.  Of course, it is a special birthday just having her alive!  Bridgett had speech and physical therapy today.  Speech therapy went well.  LeAnn actually spent quite a bit of time focused on reading type activities.  This is of course tiring for Bridgett, but she did well.  She had a little harder time with the written questions, as LeAnn printed them a little smaller (18 pt) and that was supposed to be OK.  But, it takes a lot of concentration from Bridgett.  LeAnn said she will print larger in order to let the focus be on the speech aspect instead of the vision aspect.  Physical therapy went well.  She did 10 minutes on the recumbent bike, and ten minutes on the stepper.  She did balance work and we did some talking.  I also missed the first 10 or so minutes and Mark was with her.  I was talking to LeAnn.  LeAnn is going to do some checking for me to try to find an experienced therapist in Montana.  Anyway, it was a good day all around.  Mike, Mandy and the kids came to visit, but I was crashed out.  Every once in a while I just lay down and I'm gone for a while and this was one of those times.  However, everyone had a good visit and Bridgett even remembered that they came when I asked her about it later--that's good!  Tomorrow we see Dr. Speed and also Kasey at the low vision clinic.
