Last night JoLinda had her first bite of tapioca pudding with a spoon. It was a great moment. Today was even better. She hasn't eaten alot, but has been able to eat real food. She will be on a soft diet for 1 month, but at least it's food. She tried to brush her teeth this morning, but it hurt too much. We will keep working on that. I'm sure, give it a few days for the mouth to heal, and it will feel good to brush. She did shower, dress and brush her hair all by herself today. Big steps! She walked up 2 flights of stairs and even walked outside and across the street, today. She has been up more today than all the past seven days put together. She is still trying to remember anything and everything. All jumbled in her mind. They call it post traumatic amnesia. Hopefully she will get it all back. They are saying possibly still remembering things up to the next 2 years.The mix of her pain medicine and the anasthesia yesterday, has caused her to halucinate. She has thought there were spiders, snakes, scorpions and bugs all over her, the bed and room. They are stopping that medicine as of now. Hopefully Motrin will do the trick to stop the pain instead. I'm missing Jovi's band concert tonight. Hopefully I'll catch the next one. Sorry Jovi! I know you'll do great. Anyway, by for now, Laurie
