Vickie had the first of her intensive physical therapy sessions today. Among the exercises, one had her sitting on the edge of her bed. Apparently she didn't enjoy it at all. She's been in a prone position for nearly two months now, with no activity.

Despite the increased level of activity, Vickie was still awake into the late afternoon. She had a visit from her new speech therapist. He was optimistic about her ability to regain some of her speaking skills. The family is being encouraged to take an active part in her communication therapy.

The one constant in all of this is change, Vickie was moved to room #33 this afternoon. She has a better view of the parking lot now.
