Improvement in Cognitive Awareness

Tania had a full day of therapy and performed well in all sessions. After reading a statement (in large print) that she was in the hospital because of brain surgery, Tania asked her speech therapist "Will my mind get better?" The mere fact that she asked the question is an encouraging sign. She also read several Bible verses and could repeat most of them by memory. My assignment this weekend is to put together a small photo album that she can be tested on next week.

As Tania was wheeled into the gym for physical therapy, her therapist asked if she was ready for PT. Tania responded by shaking her head "no". She proceeded to stand up for a brief period and also did the transfer into bed using the "stand and pivot" method instead of the electric hoist.

This evening she was quite verbal with me (in whispers only). Her response when I told her I loved her was "You're crazy". It's great to see her spunk returning.
