So the new schedule seems to be working pretty well. Ken's with Emily Monday, Wednesday and every other Friday, and I'm with her Tuesday, Thursday and the alternating Friday. I think my first couple of days back in the office went well, all things considered.

In case you haven't figured this out - I'll be doing less frequent blog updates. Frankly, I'm busy and there's less "new" news to share.

We did get the results of Emily's first comprehensive cognitive testing last week. No surprise to those of use who know her, her language skills are good. She's creating new memories and recognizes that there are new memories, although sometimes she needs cues to retrieve those new memories. Her reading comprehension is good. Of all the things tested, most of her scores were at least "average" for her age group and many were well above average (we all know Emily wasn't "average" before the accident), that give her a strong base to work from. Her biggest issue is concentration and attention - so that's what we'll be focusing on the next couple of months.

We got the "go ahead" to return to Philosophy Club this Thursday, so we'll be there at 2:45. Emily's really excited about her first foray back to school.
