I'm sorry it's been so long since our last update. It is certainly not because of lack of news to share. Courtney has been busy with school work reviewing multiplication, division, word problems, etc. She's reading articles and completing reading comprehension exercises as well as vocabulary work.
Most impressive is that Courtney pulled out her German and Italian workbooks and flashcards. As she reviewed German Courtney read aloud (in English) a paragraph she had written in German! She translated it right there on the spot!!! It was amazing - she had only taken German this fall for about 10 weeks. Later Courtney reviewed her Italian flash cards and was able to recall dozens of Italian phrases.
Equally exciting was the moment (after the school work was done) when Courtney tried on some of her high heel shoes. She walked gingerly around the house with a big smile on her face. Whenever Courtney gets excited about something her reaction always begins with "oooohhhh!" There was a very big oooohhh as she walked around in lovely black and gold heels.
Thank you to everyone who offered suggestions for getting help in tutoring. We are working through the details to ensure that Courtney has adequate therapy and specialized tutoring until she is in a full time day treatment program.
In the meantime we had a great weekend with lots of visitors and we attended a beautiful concert that Courtney can tell you about when she writes on the blog tomorrow.

My name is Cerissa Creeden. My brother Ryan Creeden was in a serious car accident on 2/26. He is still in a coma at the ICU in Brackenridge Hospital in Austin TX. My family is from Mass and I live in Providence. Anyway, we would love to touch base with you on advise about rehabilitation etc. IF we make it to that point. Ryan's blog is: www.creedenfamilyupdate.blogspot.com/ He just moved to Austin two months ago to go to culinary school. Please email me if you get this. CLCreeden@aol.com. I already lost my older brother Jesse in a car accident 12 years. We want to do everything we can to help Ryan's chances of survival. Thanks so much. Cerissa
