Saturday September 1, 2007

Kelsi woke up all smiles today. This is the happiest she has been since she fell. She was so excited to talk to her Mom and Dad and tell them something really important. She kept mouthing full sentences, but when she discovered that her voice can't be heard and that she can't write yet either, she became very sad.
When she was wheeled through the hospital, there was a full sized spider man figure in a hall. Shortly after seeing it, she put both hands in the spiderman sign.
In therapy she managed to make a little noise with her vocal cords, but got too tired to apply it to speech. She did say "Mom" with vocal sound. She was trying so hard, but still no go. The words are right on the tip of her tongue.
Her sister came to see her. With school starting, it was hard for her to get up there. The last time she saw her was Sunday. She was very impressed with the improvement Kelsi had made through out the week. Kelsi was so excited to see her that she couldn't quit hugging her. She got real tired, but would only lay down if her sister held her close.
Later in the day 2 friends visited and started to play catch with her. One of the friends said they should play volleyball. When Kelsi heard the word "volleyball" she put her hands together in the position to bump the ball.
Thanks again for your faith, prayers, visits and service.
