Today Kate got tired of moving her hands. (She had been moving her left hand quite easily, and the right only some.) Today she added her feet!!! While I was massaging them, they both started moving a little bit. Then when I asked her to do it again, she did.... many times. Some moves were bigger than others...some were just wiggling toes...but what an improvement!!

I really feel Kate is attaining a higher level of consciousness. The nurses cried and cheered today when they saw her moving her legs. Many seem to think Kate is really responding to me and my voice probably because I am at her bedside so often. I hope it's true. Dave has been saying for a while that he thinks I will be the one to "call her out." I hope so.

She slept today while he played the "Mortal Combat" CD for her. Go figure. Early in the day, my friend Linda from Illinois visited and she and a nurse tried to wash Kate's hair again. It gets to oily, and there is no way to put her head in a sink to do a shampoo. But she really seemed to enjoy the attention. Her best time is early afternoon she seems quite awake then and responsive to commands.

All in all....another upbeat day.

We are still awaiting word on getting her moved. I'll keep you posted.
