Saturday 1/22--Jamie

Hi all,

We didn't get anything written yesterday and I couldn't wait to get on and write today, because mom (as usual) made another breakthrough this morning. Diana and I were working on her to tell us what she had for breakfast.....difficult for her to get the words out. As we struggled to get it all, we put a pad a paper in front of her and she was able to write out what we hadn't gotten, as well as her name, our names, grandkids names, etc....in perfect legible handwriting!!! That is such amazing progress!

David and she just finished playing a couple card games where she kicked his behind!!! LOL--David started playing Crazy 8's with her last night after she did some work in Occupational Therapy with some cards putting them into order by suit and number. She is definitely working her way towards Shanghai already! ")

She is going through David's calendar he brought over right now.....Connie made him a calendar from our family trip to Hawaii this summer....as much fun for us to look at as it is for mom.

Mom got to see Joyce and Jim and Nathan and Brienne yesterday....and that really lit her up!

We are looking for a great day today! Happy Saturday all!
