UPDATE 6/13 - PM

Michele has been on a fast track now for the last few days. She is wide awake during the day and tracks everyone in her room to see what is going on. She can now watch TV and she is starting to move more and more each day. Her Father arrived today and said hello as he walked through the door and Michele said hi back. This was a good sign as she did not even have her speaking valve in. Michele lifted her entire left arm up this evening and waved goodbye to me with 2 of her fingers. Her right toes move on command and she is working on her left leg. I can tell that this week will be a week of a lot of movement. Michele should be able to accomplish a lot this week with the help of the rehab staff. Michele tried to talk this evening as well but she needs some help with her tongue and mouth movements. She should have speech therapy early this week and I think she will be talking soon. She is able to lift her head and turn it in both directions. She enjoys looking at pictures and listening to emails that have been sent to her. I will start taking more pictures this week so everyone can see her progress.
