Today, 3:30pm, post by David

Today Mom was very sleepy in the morning, since she was awakened about 8 times last night. But she was more alert at lunch, and after that we (Alan, David, Jamie, and Diana) decided to have some speech therapy with her. We are starting with very concrete ideas and words and will be working towards more abstract connections. The therapy is intended not only to work on her ability to get the words out, but also to improve her cognitive skills. We recited nursery rhymes and sang simple songs. She remembered and sang nearly all the words to approximately 10 rhymes and 10 songs. Her favorite was The Galva High School Fight Song. That's because she was the only one of us who remembered all the lyrics! That brought a big smile to her face.
