8:30 P.M. This was a great weekend for me and very exciting, me and ray got down to the rehab. at 7:30 Friday Stacey seemed to be very glad to see us she started talking right off her first word was Ray then looked around the room and then said Garrett as if she was wondering where he was(Garrett is Ray's son) she keep asking WHY we was not for sure what at the time she was asking, but she kept talking not actually making sentences but acting like she was making up for lost time trying to make a sentence and actually moving to the next before the first was done, if you know Stacey personally she was like this before as far as talking she would talk a mile a minute if you didn't keep up you was lost, I think she was trying to talk like before but I don't think unfortunately her brain was up to all she had to say, Ha Ha! Saturday Stacey had just woke up this was at 9 A.M. they said this was the first time Stacey has slept all night long so they left her sleep in, they said she was actually snoring(Stacey has not slept all night for longer than an hour or so since coming out of the comma)they told me this was a good sign because her brain is starting to process the information she is taking in which means she is more aware of what is going on around her. Saturday she starting make more since of what she said, she kept saying she was fat, and we shortly found out the Why question was about she wanted to know Why she could not go home because she was fine, this came across a lot, we took camcorders and got some footage of her all day Saturday. Today she was even better she was actually focusing on what we was saying because she keep asking why home so we told her about the accident and what happen and how she got hurt really bad and she seemed to actually listen she did not say a word until we got done talking or if we asked if she remembered what we had just said some she actually shook her head yes to and some was a no answer, but you could see that we were actually filling some spaces that where missing for her because she would just stop and it actually looked like a light bulb had come on. We started showing her some pictures of friends and family and what really blew me away was she was saying a lot of there names in the pictures, this started by her saying no ones cares no one come see me but you, so we told her yes many people have come up to see you look at all the pictures from everyone and when I showed her she stared naming names I couldn't get to the pictures fast enough I was so excited. Plus we had to explain that she was not fine that's why she was there to get better, she had to work hard and she could go home, she looked at me and Ray and asked how to work, and she said what as if what do I need to do, so we told her she needed to start walking and to start holding the ball that they give her and to give it back just things like listening, because they had told us she will not hold the balls or anything else and it looked like it may be a problem. But this is the good part she asked where's ball me and ray were a little surprised but we got a ball and gave it to her after some couching we actually had her taking the ball from us and giving it back to us we finally went and got the nurses to have witness they were so amazed at what they had just seen she even did it for one of the nurses, soon after this she started getting upset she finally looked at us and said no ball, I'm fine, get bus we go home Stacey Said Now, she had figured that ok I played with the ball now I'm ok let's go home, it almost made me cry, at the end before we left she was getting very upset because she knew we were not taking her home she would get very upset and say bye go you don't care, and I had to explain again why and then before we left she said bye love you will work hard for home, which made me cry that time but I was able to hold it until I got out the doors. But she is doing so much better I can not get over all the improvements. Thank You Everyone please continue with all your prayers and God Bless.
