More Steps Up the Mountain
Today Gina was much less dizzy and so had more stamina and was able to step up to the plate. She had a really good, loud whisper most of the day. We also discovered she can still count money, tell time and she remembered the details of a story read to her yesterday. She marched in place in the parallel bars, did lots of leg and core strengthening exercises, and once again beat her therapists in some games.
She did get to do her swallow study (it was really, really cool to watch!) and will start to eat pureed foods tomorrow at lunch. After all that, she relaxed to the wonderful dialect of Mark Twain! More successes to follow tomorrow!

We are filled with amazement daily by all of Gina's progress. She is truly blessed by the support of her family as she strengthens daily. Gina, we keep you in our thoughts & prayers while you rise up that mountain.

Gina,
I want you to know that I read the blog site everyday and that I am still thinking of you. It's great to read that you are recovering so quickly. Keep up the great work. I hope we get to see you soon. We miss you.

Gina! I'm so glad to hear you're doing so well! I'm so jealous you got to have a swallow study! I'm a Speech Path major at Miami University, and I've only gotten to see one done. I wish I could've been there to watch yours! I love hearing about all the progress you make in speech therapy, it makes me want to get my degree even sooner so I can work with awesome patients like you!
I miss you darling! Sorry for the excessive exclamation points!!!!!
Lots of lovin' from Oxford Ohio,
