Emily had a good day on Friday. So far the cognitive testing shows that her long-term memory is fine. She's having a little trouble remembering new stuff, but that's very common and there's lots of ways to help her that we're working on. She got to play hockey in mat class today and she had a wonderful time and did very well. Speaking, while soft, is coming more and more naturally. She'll see an ENT in the next week or so who will look at her vocal chords - it's very likely they were damaged when she was intubated right after the accident. Nothing to worry about, there are injections that can help repair them. She has an appointment in the vision clinic next week to check on her right eye - we honestly don't know if she's having any vision problems.

We will be bring Emily home for a visit and dinner this afternoon. If you'd like to visit her today, feel free to come by between 9:00 and Noon. She'll be back at the hospital this evening, but she'll probably be very tired from her visit. We'll see how today goes before deciding about tomorrow.

Thanks for your understanding and support.
