Day 170 - Friday June 1, 2012

Bridgett's neck is still feeling much better.  If I ask her pain level she says 1-2!  Yippee!  Of course, it will be best when there's no pain but this is so much better then it's been that we are thrilled.  She says every day that she feels so good and she just glows with her smile. Then she says she almost feels great!  When her neck wasn't hurting and you asked her she said that she felt awesome.  So, those days are close at hand again.  Bridgett's short term memory continues to improve.  If I ask about the book she is reading she can tell me who the main characters are and a little bit about what is happening.  When she starts watching a movie and then stops and later on wants to watch a movie again, she usually remembers what she was watching earlier in the day.  There are other things that she remembers from short term memory (like Arrianne's song) and her long term memory is coming back a little more all the time as well.  We are so happy and encouraged about these thing!  Tonight Bridgett went outside to walk with Mark and Arrianne.  After a bit Arrianne asked Bridgett if she could jog and Bridgett tried it and did jog!  She was smiling and had a good time although she said afterwards that it hurt her feet and legs.  We explained that it's been six months since she has jogged so she's just out of shape.
