9:30 A.M.

I am sorry for this taken so long but I wanted to wait until I got all the facts on Stacey. Well the MRI came out the same it looks like it is alittle more defined than before but they are still seeing the spots on the frontal and middle and back of the brain, but thank goodness nothing bad was found. Dr Wright finally called me and said that he was very impressed with Stacey this time he had admitted that he declined to see her do to he thought from his last visit that there would not be change, but there was as he called it the difference from night and day! He also commended us again on the great job that me and Ray has done with her and as far as she has come with us having little resources available to us. And also made note to the school in there efforts to help us with Stacey, he said you don't see that much especially with children in Stacey case, but he had complimented them many times in there efforts and there support with us. But his conclusion was not again what I wanted to here. He said that even tho Stacey has advanced more than what he thought, that he does not see any further progress to be made with the effected areas in the brain she will pretty well have the shakes and her balance will more than likely to not improve much, as far as walking he is not for sure he is going to recommend more PT to be done with her to see if maybe thru the years if this can not be improved, I mean she is walking some now with her walker but he sees that she will always need help in her walking because of her balance but like he said with continuing PT may help some. He also did not give much approval to her knowledge of things improving as far as school work or a normal life he says when she finishes school that it is recommended that she have adult services come in and help her with her everyday life! All and all he did not give us what we wanted to hear we knew with all we had seen that she was improving and she is but will it or can it continue? Times like these make me wish I don't take her to these Doctor's anymore. They totally confuse me about what I need to do or continue to do! But I am not giving up on her I am going to continue to push her as I did before the accident, I know she has a long ways to go but as long as my back and legs continues to work I will push her to achieve all that there is to and more! I can not give up hope that this is all my daughter will be, she did not survive this accident to continue to be a living vegetable and I won't allow it. But on to better conversations Stacey is still riding and continues to love going every week learning new things and doing more on her own! Stacey has been talking more to me it is like having a two year old all over again why this where is that how come and MOM this and MOM that but this is what I have been waiting for and she is starting to get a since of humor to her again she is always trying to tell us jokes which is the same on over and over Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road and the answer is Because There Was Food On The Other Side, or in my case I tell her Because Stacey Was Chasing It Saying Chicken UMMMM! It is our little joke because she is always hungry but she laughs and goes along with it. But for today I guess that is all will try to update again soon! Thanks again to everyone and there continuous Prayers and Support. May God Bless You All As You All Have Us. Today's picture is of her and her nieces Tawni and Chesni.
