Second year Day 330 - Friday November 8, 2013

So Bridgett's face book account is now hooked to my gmail.  I changed that months ago because Bridgett couldn't remember her password and it was just easier to have the reset sent to me and I figured I could change it later.  Anyway, apparently when Bridgett went to bed last night, she spent time posting things to face book!  She always goes to bed and reads or plays on the ipad for a half an hour or so before she falls asleep.  Anyway, I woke up this morning with a bunch of email and found that she had replies back to her!  Crazy!  I guess she's remembering being on face book and wanting to do it more!  When she first left home, she was really into face book.  The last couple of years before the accident she had not really spent much time posting, but did stay in touch with people on face book. I take this as a good step forward.  It was really snowy again, and I didn't want Bridgett out walking where it might be slick.  So, instead she rode the bike inside.  Actually, this is what happened.  She was talking to me about face book friends and wanting to hang out with people.  I said that she needed to get back to where she could do things with people like just talking to people without having to be doing something else, and watching movies.  I set a goal a while back that she needs to be able to watch a two hour movie, and that we can start by getting a goal to watch 30 minutes and work up to it.  So, today she said, I can do that!  So, she sat by me on the couch and ate lunch while we watch an episode of the Big Bang Theory (she used to like that).  Then after watching a whole episode, she said I can watch two episodes!  She then got on the bike and rode the bike through a second episode!  WOW!  Of course, she was doing something during both episodes, but the best she's done with watching TV has been 30 minutes or (mostly) less, while she plays or reads on the ipad the entire time!  Progress!
