Deena's Continued Progress
Well - where do I begin....?
I picked up the phone to call Michael for an update and Deena answered the phone. It's been a while since I've talked with her on the phone - so she caught me off guard and I was almost speachless.... It still is such a blessing and answered prayer that Deena has made the progress she has in such a short period of time that I find myself still amazed and in awe of the true testament Deena is to us all. I even made the comment to her that for anyone who may have any doubt whatsoever of God's love and the healing and miracles that He is capable of just haven't witnessed Deena's miraculous recovery.
Deena is attending therapy daily at Denton Regional Medical from about 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. They challenge her daily with different memory skills and remedial math skills, etc. to assist with her daily recovery process. I asked her if there was any one thing in particular that seems to be more challenging to her than another and she said 'not really' and that 'everything is moving right along'.
She says that she's mastered sleeping on her side with her halo. Although you can imagine that her head doesn't actually lay on the pillow - she says she starts on her back and ends up on her side. I was teasing that she could probably actualy lay on her stomach face down and her face wouldn't be in the pillow either....she thought was quite humerous...not! It was SO great to hear her laugh though!!! What a sense of humor she has! She's an amazing lady!
Deena did get her new glasses today and the only challenge she has is that being the "age we are" and joining the "bi- or tri-focal club" has been met with challenges in trying to adjust her head or eyes with her halo in tact. She said it's a challenge to get her head at the right angle to see in the right part of the glasses to focus. For those of you who haven't experienced or become a member of the "club" - it is met with challenges without a halo - so you can just imagine....
I hear that Deena has been able to attend some of Greg's soccer games - and - before I go on - Congratulations to Greg for his goal tonight! I hear Guyer beat Burkburnett 2-0! Way to go Greg! I'm sure mom and dad were both very proud of you - as we all are! Deena even has her own special seat in the press box - although she says she has to "bring her own seat with her" - they allow her to sit up where it's warm(er) to watch Greg play.
We'll continue to keep you updated with Deena's progress. As you can see - we are only updating as we have news to share - so please continue to check back and we'll update at least a couple of times a week. We do thank you for your continued support and prayers. God Bless!
