Courtney had a great visit with her friend Catherine today and laughed for the first time since the accident. It was a wonderful sound to hear. Catherine was telling stories from their overnight trips to Alton Jones Camp and how they tortured the poor boys on the trip! With each reminder of teasing Courtney laughed and smiled broader and brighter.
This was at the end of a great day of therapy and being awake most of the day. We showed pictures of our house to Courtney as her memory is of living in Cranston. She wanted to know why she didn't recognize our house and I explained it was because we just moved there in June. We will show Courtney pictures of our home every day so that she will feel comfortable when she comes home. As we were discussing coming home I told Courtney "you'll be coming home in 3 weeks" and she said "or maybe 2?" Maybe! We'll see but more likely 3 - around the 20th. We are still working on getting Courtney to eat. She only had about 200 calories yesterday. We are trying to offer and give her anything and everything!
