Day 137 - Sunday April 29, 2012

All in all a good day.  We spent time resting, reading, playing on the ipad and visiting.  Because of the frequency Bridgett was unable to go to church.  We have an appointment with the urologist on Tuesday morning.  Everyone thinks it is just hypersensitivity with the brain, so hopefully he will be able to give us something to get that under control until the time that the brain heals enough to regulate itself.  Arrianne gave a talk in church about priesthood blessings and how they have impacted her live and the lives of her family.  I did not get to hear it but I did get to read it.  Jenn and Steph said she did a great job.  She spoke about the priesthood blessings that Bridgett has had.  We definitely know that the priesthood has blessed our lives and our little Bridgett.  We know that she has been blessed to be healed.  We are living the miracle.  With the severity of her brain injuries the doctors left us with almost no hope.  Already she has progressed much past where they predicted.  And we have the faith and hope that she will continue to progress from here.  Thank you everyone for your prayers for Bridgett and for us.  We feel the power of your prayers and know that it makes a huge difference in her recovery! Please don't grow weary of praying for her (and for us)! Today Bridgett took another long bath.  It does feel so very good to her to soak in the warm water.  It will be nice to be at home where she can go and get in the hot tub when she wants to.  I had been thinking lately that perhaps Bridgett doesn't remember that her ears were previously pierced and that is why she says she doesn't want them pierced now-- and says maybe later.   I asked her to reach up and feel her earlobes and tell me if her ears had been pierced before.  She felt and said apparently yes.  I said you got your ears pierced when you were 16.  How long have your ears been pierced and she said six years!  Most of the time she is foggy on her correct age so that was great to hear!  I said you have lots of earrings so do you want to re-pierce your ears and she said yes. So, the next time we talk about it I will have to have her go through the steps again or at least ask her if her ears were pierced before. And I want to find a place that will pierce both ears at the same time. Since her hair is very short, her sisters really want her to re-pierce her ears. Jenn and Tyler and the boys came over to visit in the early evening and that was fun.  We are trying to see each other all we can before we leave for Montana.  It will be great to leave for home but bittersweet since we will be leaving our little sweeties behind.
