Just simply a Miracle....

...it really is. She was amazing yesterday. Talking up a STORM in this cute little horse whisper voice. She says her throat hurts because of the tubes and the oxygen, I'm sure. She says she loves you BUNCHES, and is so sincere and so sweet. She asks a lot of questions, and tells us about her journey she had while asleep. Her short term memory is not working yet (she doesn't remember yesterday) but she remembers everything before the accident and she remembers all of us =)

Her speech therapist yesterday told her mother we are witnessing nothing short of a miracle. She NEVER expected Cassidy to be talking at this rate for a least another 2 months!! She said it was simply amazing.

I want to THANK ALL OF YOU for the miracle. If it wasn't for all of YOU, praying, thinking, wishing, hoping for Cassidy to recover HE may of never returned her to us....

THANK YOU...you all are truly amazing.

OFFICIALLY AWAKE!!

Well, we thought what we where seeing was her being awake..but that is not the case. She is AWAKE, talking and telling us about her adventure while she was sleeping.

She doesn't remember much before today. She has bits and pieces...like she doesn't remember going to the doctor yesterday, but she is still saying she had 50 staples taken out. She was asking for Uncle Gregg, so he made a visit after work. They talked about the emails and blog, she remembers hearing about the blog, but doesn't remember the emails. Not to worry, I have all of them printed out and I will take them tomorrow for her to read.

She asked what happened to her. We said she was in a bad car accident...she asked if the other person was ok!!!! God love her, she was worried about the other driver!!

She also talked about her angels, her grandfather and her sister. She said she saw them, and she knows they saved her life.


...thank you Daddy and Celina...

Kicking butt, taking names!

She is trying to talk more! She whispered the nurses name this morning. Eating and doing some therapy, that's the agenda for today.

My sister will be there tonight and I am headed up to see her tomorrow afternoon, so I'll blog more tomorrow evening, kay!

Thank you to everyone with all your thoughts, prayers and emails. I can't WAIT until she is well enough to read this blog, and understand what support she had!

Aunt B

Looking Good!

The Uncle Greggester went and seen her on his lunch break today! She had just got back from the doctors office. She had 50 staples removed...and she told Gregg herself, in a whisper, "FIFTY"!! I tell ya, the tube was stopping her from talking!!!

She also had her neck brace off, and holding her head up just fine. Gregg said she looked great, looked like Cassidy, hanging out in a bed!!

She had Cream of Wheat for breakfast, drinking out of straw and fed HERSELF some pureed mashed potoatoes and chicken!!! You GO GIRL!!!

Progress, progress....love it!!!

Keep those prayers going, it is working!!

Tired Girls..

Cassidy and Aunt B =)

Sorry such a late update, I just walked in the door from the hospital an hour ago.

Had a great visit with my girl. She worked hard in therapy this morning and was very tired. She enjoyed just chillin' with Aunt B and watching the Bill Cosby show =)

She decided to go ahead and take her feeding tube out all by herself last night =) They did the swallow test, and she is doing good. They do have a Pick in her to get some good food to her, but no more tube. She is eating a little bit of apple sauce and ice chips. Her mom is going to try chocolate pudding tonight =)

This stuff about her not being able to talk is CRAZY!! That girl had me lean down and she was mouthing something? I said what? You need to whisper it? I put my ear down again and I heard "GREGG" in a whisper. I said "Your Uncle GREGG?" She then wrote on her board "when he come see me?" !!!!!!! That little SNOT!! =) She loves her Gregg!! She just LITE up when he visited her this weekend and was hanging on his every word...too adorable!!

She has an adventure tomorrow, she is headed to the doctor by AMBULANCE! She thought that sounded like fun! She has an appointment with the doc that did her fancy surgery on her hip and leg...just a follow up. He will be so excited to see her smile.

Until tomorrow....

Aunt B

Moving right along...

Meeting with Doctors went well. I haven't got the details from my sister yet, but I'll be hanging with her all day tomorrow.

Speech Therapist was with Cassidy today. She is doing good on swallowing, and they are going to try and take her feeding tube out and see if she can eat. They think maybe the tube is preventing her from eating or talking...we shall see. Big day tomorrow...can't wait!!

I will blog tomorrow for sure, I'll be up there myself. Can't wait!! I love seeing her smile these days!!!

Aunt B

Makes me SOOO happy!!

She is doing even BETTER today!!

I couldn't wait for Uncle Greggster any longer...hes a busy man.

She got to wear her Colts Jersey today, sat up and watched the game...doing much better!! She still cannot talk, eat or completely hold her head up yet, but she is making progress!!!

Meeting with the doctors tomorrow and more therapy. She's getting there!!!

CORRECTION: The PLAN was for her to watch the game, but she was unable too due to the Brighthouse/Channel 8 thing...
