Corrected phone number: To call Emily, please call (303) 320-5871, room 422.

I took last night's number from a business card our case worker had given us. Who knew is was her direct number. Sorry Aunt Trice. BTW - Gary wants clarification, you were a math what? Mud wrestling he buys.

Well, it's as definite as things are these days - Emily will be moving to Craig this week or next. Certainly cleared it up for me. Seriously, we'll hear tomorrow and will add it to tomorrow's post.

To Brendan - Sora has been used for visual tracking several times - it may have been an "accident," but it's worked beautifully. Think about it - she spent probably a half an hour today looking at pictures from the Creative Writing bulletin board (thank you Mrs. Clark). Sora was a distraction, although finding Dominic in his picture was entertaining. Emily seems patently disinterested in visually following her therapist's fingers - so interesting pictures ("art"?) are always welcome.

To the VanderReits - we've heard talk of capping her trach, but no capping has taken place. Frankly, we'd like to see the whole thing just gone.

On to today's milestones: continued progress with visual tracking and muscle control. Her neck control has increased significantly. According to her PT most of the body's movement follow the head/neck, so better control of the neck is really important. Yesterday after 30-45 minutes of PT, she struggled to hold her head up in the chair. Today, she was a little weak for the first few minutes, but strong and stable thereafter.
