Courtney's therapy at home is going to new levels. We are playing scrabble almost every day and Courtney is spelling words like tangerine, mandarin and Gettysburg! Courtney is reading more and more - she is looking forward to a trip to the library tomorrow.
She continues to review more complicated math and is doing very well with various visual spacial exercises.
Courtney's speech has also improved dramatically in the past 2 weeks. Many people have told her that they can understand everything she is saying, even over the phone, or when she's speaking quickly. Occassionally the wrong word comes out or words come out scrambled. Courtney has a great sense of humor about this and will follow it up with laughter and a "duh duh dah!".
Now that Blue Cross has cleared funding for Sargent Rehabilitation we are anxiously awaiting a start date for Courtney. She is definitely ready to take on the academic challenges and work necessary to get her back to school. Courtney is also looking forward to out patient physical therapy that will get her back on gym equipment like eliptical, treadmill, weights, etc.
We will be having a mass of thanksgiving later in March to thank God for Courtney's miraculous healing. The date, place and time will be posted on the blog and we hope those of you who have followed Courtney's story will join us.

So glad to hear of your continued success and movement forward toward your goal of going back to URI in the fall. Diane and Craig we know this has been an exhausting 5 months for you and your family. I agree that you should publish your writing as Courtney recovers. It will give strength to those in despair and will attest to God's love and healing power.
love
